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.

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.
