The Assembly further ratified the NOC’s final accounts for the 2024 fiscal year, its proposed budget
for 2025, the audit report for 2024, and the preparation and participation budget for Olympic events
under the 2025 activity plan. In addition, the financial and administrative reports of the UAE Sports
Arbitration Centre were approved.

During the meeting, Faris Mohammed Al Mutawa, Secretary-General of the NOC, presented the
latest amendments to the Olympic Charter, which were adopted on 30 January. These amendments
represent a pivotal development in the history of the Olympic movement, particularly with regard to
participation process, qualification pathways, and the rights to host and organise the Olympic
Games — while also expanding the role of National Olympic Committees in decisions concerning
host city selections.

At the conclusion of the meeting, H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
witnessed the signing of an agreement to host the headquarters of national sports federations at
the new NOC premises in Dubai. The new headquarters will accommodate 21 national federations
representing a range of individual and team sports.
