H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports, highlighted that the development of the
national sports sector, in both its competitive and community aspects, represents one of the

priorities within the UAE’s vision for the future. His Excellency said: “We were keen to organise
this session with the objective of unifying efforts and strengthening joint action among the
various entities concerned with the sector’s development, in order to formulate a clear and

integrated vision for the next chapter that contributes to the goal of building a more
prosperous society in the UAE, in line with the parameters of the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.”

H.E. added: “We aspire for the Sports Sector Strategic Plan to serve as a comprehensive

national roadmap that embeds sport as a daily practice across society, enhances the UAE’s
global presence and the competitiveness of our athletes in international events and

championships and increases the sector’s contribution to the national economy by fostering an
environment that attracts investment and sporting talent from around the world.”

The ‘Strategic Planning Session’ was designed to assess the current goals and strategic
indicators within the sports sector and explore avenues for their further development. A key

focus in designing the session was to engage stakeholders in shaping the Ministry’s vision and
mission, while establishing updated objectives, strategies, initiatives and metrics that will guide

national sports efforts over the coming years and reflect sectoral priorities through 2029. This
strategic approach reinforces the Ministry’s commitment to transparency, collaboration and

innovation, while driving institutional excellence and elevating the UAE’s standing in both local
and global sporting landscapes.

During the session, participating entities showcased their strategic plans, highlighting key
achievements from recent years and outlining their future directions, programmes and

initiatives through a series of presentations delivered by representatives of the Ministry of
Sports, the Sharjah Sports Council, the Dubai Sports Council, the UAE Committee for Elite and

High-Performance Sports and the UAE Committee for Talent and Sports Support.
