The Talent Committee Platform is designed to transform the way athletic talent is identified and developed across
the UAE. Serving as a unified access point for all stakeholders in the sports ecosystem, including athletes, parents,
coaches, scouts, clubs, federations, and educational institutions, it offers easy access to a comprehensive and
accurate database. 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.

H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi highlighted that the launch of the platform reflects the vision of the UAE’s wise
leadership in advancing sports excellence and ensuring long-term sustainability through innovative technologies and
strategic collaborations. H.E. 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 programs 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.”
