6/20/25, 8:49 AM Ministry of Sports launches Talent Committee Platform to nurture athletes

The platform is fully integrated with the Ministry’s recently launched ‘Sportifai’ digital platform, enabling real-time, data-driven monitoring of athletes’ performance
and growth. This integration supports transparent and objective assessments of both technical skills and physical development of the athletes.

Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports, said: “The introduction of the ‘Talent Committee Platform’ represents a major milestone in establishing an
intelligent, integrated sports ecosystem - one that can identify promising talent from an early stage and support their growth through structured development
programmes driven by data, digital governance, and partnership. This platform not only offers advanced digital tools but also creates a comprehensive national
framework that links schools, academies, clubs, and federations. Using digital governance, it streamlines talent identification and development processes, enhances
overall performance, and makes access to emerging athletic potential across the UAE easier.

“Recognising talent from a young age is fundamental to shaping elite athletes and is the central factor in achieving success in Olympics and international
competitions. This project will significantly contribute to the objectives of the National Sports Strategy 2031 by increasing the number of Emirati athletes qualifying
for the Olympic Games. Our current priority is to establish a sustainable national system that not only identifies promising talent but also supports their growth
toward the highest standards of competitive performance,” he added.

Sheikh Suhail bin Butti Al Maktoum, Assistant Undersecretary for the Sports Development and Competitiveness Sector and Chairman of the UAETSS, said: “This
new platform is a key component of the Ministry’s broader digital transformation strategy. It plays a central role in the talent discovery system by integrating digital
analytics, data, and technical assessments with personalised talent development pathways. With the aid of advanced technology and a well-defined strategic vision,
the platform lays the foundation for a sustainable national system to discover and develop talent, while enhancing the competitiveness of UAE sports and reinforcing
its presence on the global stage.
