“The coming years will witness a distinct variety of high-quality events and initiatives, to
encourage more people to engage in sports. To ensure that everyone adopts the culture of

exercise and sports into their lifestyle, a scientific technique will be employed on a regular basis
to measure the impact of social sports,” H.E added.

Ahmed Al-Abdouli, Director of the Community Sports Management at General Authority of
Sports, said: “The social sports initiatives are fundamental to the Authority’s objectives, as per
the directives of our wise leadership and the Sports Sector Strategy 2032, aimed at promoting

the international presence of UAE sports. We are committed to implementing strategies and

initiatives through the Authority that will encourage all segments of the community to participate
in sports.”

He added: “Through this initiative, we look forward to encouraging individuals to adopt sports as

part of their daily routine. We have a number of facilities in the UAE that assist people to practice
different sports, and we hope to fully utilize them by fostering social sports.”

From students and families to senior citizens and athletes, a variety of people participated in the

initiative. The participants walked 2-km to encourage sports as a daily activity.

In partnership with the governmental entities, sporting institutions, and the corporate sector, the
General Authority of Sports has organized several initiatives as part of the “Sports for Life”

endeavors, to strengthen the Authority’s role in achieving social goals of sports.
