Following her participation in the Algerian event, she represented Qatar at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in September 2023. She was defeated by Uzbekistan’s Olympic Games quarter-finalist Raykhona Kodirova at the lightweight (60kg), but the Asian Games was a great experience for the Qatari lady.
Short after the Asian Games, she travelled to Saudi Arabia’s capital to compete in the World Combat Games on October 2023. She defeated a local boxer in the semi-finals, Mona Sharaf and despite her loss to Kuwait’s Noura Al-Mutairi, she earned a silver medal in the Games.
