initiative

June 29, 2022
The General Authority of Sports organized “Practice Sports and Enjoy Life” initiative at Sheikh

Zayed Mosque, Fujairah, to foster the culture of exercises and sports among people, including
youngsters. With many participants including athletes and community members, this initiative

comes as part of the ‘Sports for Life’ strategy, aimed at promoting and encouraging participation
in various sports.

H.E Sheikh Suhail Bin Butti Al Maktoum, Executive Director of the Sports Development Sector at
the General Sports Authority, asserted that this new approach is in line with the UAE Centennial

2071, which seeks to foster social connection through sports and combine optimism while
making positivity and happiness a way of life. “Through these initiatives, the General Authority of

Sports believes that the practice of social sports allows for the discovery of new athletic talents
and strengthens federations by including distinct categories. They also contribute to providing a

better quality of life, prosperity, and health, all of which the government heavily emphasized in its
strategic objectives.”
