The FBMA Trophy is an annual figure skating competition held in January in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is the only figure skating competition in the Arab world included in the International Skating Union's calendar.[7] Medals are awarded in men's and ladies' single skating at various levels, including senior and junior.

Technical scores received at this event count towards qualification for ISU Championships.[8] In 2017, the senior ladies' category also counted toward World Rankings[9] but the men's category did not, as it did not attract enough senior skaters from a range of countries.
