the national and international levels. It further aims at empowering the sports sector cadres
including employees and members of the sports councils.

member of the scientific committee in the UAE Sports Sciences and Sports Medicine
Center, addressing the conference said: “We look forward to achieving leadership in the
Future Sports Management Program. This program relies on preparing students for the
future by emphasizing research on ways to advance digital administration and utilize AI in
administration, as well as developing new structures and strategies based on these
systems. We must keep up with the ongoing rise of digital development in the sports
industry by planning for the future and raising up new generations that can ensure the
sector's sustainability.”

During the conference, Dr. Ahmed Al Amri, head of the specialized training and a member of
the scientific committee in the UAE Sports Sciences and Sports Medicine Center, explained

Center's commitment to creating a dynamic generation of leaders that will take over key
sports institutions at the national and international levels. Additionally, he emphasized that
the Center provides consultation, carries out research and scientific studies pertaining to
various sport sciences, and aids in the implementation of the Authority's policy and strategy
with regard to the development of sport leaderships in the United Arab Emirates and raising
their technical and scientific proficiency in their respective fields.

The UAE Center for Sports Sciences and Sports Medicine is keen to offer specialized
scientific programs that would contribute to enhancing the sports sector in the country, in
partnership with the General Authority of Sports, the National Olympic Academy, and
