levels of competitiveness and excellence.

H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi stressed the importance of the initiative, stating:
“Sports remain a cornerstone of the UAE’s future vision. The strategic planning session serves as a vital platform to unify efforts, share
insights and accelerate the development of the national sports ecosystem.”
