H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed secured the presidential seat in accordance with the NOC’s statutes and

electoral regulations, approved by its Board of Directors.

This announcement was made during the Ordinary General Assembly Meeting of the UAE NOC in Dubai.

Following the announcement of his election, H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum chaired the

meeting, which was attended by Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports, Vice President of the NOC and
Chairman of the Executive Board; Faris Mohammed Al Mutawa, Secretary-General of the NOC; as well as members of

the General Assembly and the Board of Directors.

In his remarks to the General Assembly, H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum affirmed that

leading national institutions is both an honour and a profound responsibility, one that must be fulfilled with dedication
and loyalty.

H.H. noted that this role reflects the deep trust placed in him by national sports figures who have shaped the Olympic
movement with determination and perseverance, always keeping the UAE’s sporting progress at the heart of their
mission without seeking recognition or acclaim.

Their contributions have been instrumental in driving sporting success and achievements at every level, H.H. added.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed emphasised that the vision of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai, during his 16-year presidency of the NOC, had a profound impact on the

diverse achievements witnessed by the national Olympic movement.

His leadership established a lasting legacy and brought significant value to this vital sector, which reflects the UAE’s
success and advancement on the global sporting stage.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed also praised the remarkable efforts and constant endeavours of all former
presidents of the NOC since its establishment in 1979.

H.H. added that these efforts laid a strong foundation for the Olympic movement in the UAE, enabling its continuous
growth and development.

The UAE has since achieved exceptional milestones, including its historic first Olympic medal at the Athens 2004
Summer Olympics, when Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al Maktoum won gold in the men’s double trap

shooting event.
