The Sports Medal comprises three distinct classes, with each class tailored to the recipient based on the nature of their service and their social standing. These are:

The Medal of Sports Design
The Medal of Sports is crafted in the form of a five-pointed star adorned with vibrant green enamel, each point featuring the emblem of a blazing flame. These points are interconnected by a circular white enamel disc encircled by a blue enamel ring, upon which rests five interlocking circles symbolizing the Olympic games. Positioned at the heart of the star is a circular golden disc inscribed with the word “Sport” in Arabic above a crimson enamel backdrop.
The star is affixed atop a silver-gilded base, with radiant beams emanating from it. Suspended horizontally by a clip shaped like the overlapping Olympic rings, the Medal is awarded in multiple classes.
The First Class is worn suspended from a white silk ribbon with two green stripes around the neck, while both the First and Second Classes are worn on the left side of the chest using the same ribbon. Notably, the Second-Class medal is adorned with a Rosette for distinction.
