Among the top names who will be in action this week are Iranian London 2012 Paralympic medallist Zahra Nemati, former world No. 1 in men's compound open Marcel Pavlik from Slovakia besides several Tokyo 2020 qualifiers and former champions.  While Turkey who claimed seven medals last year are here with maximum 14 players, the hosts United Arab Emirates will field seven players.
