4/11/25, 2:48 PM Mansoor bin Mohammed elected President of UAE National Olympic Committee - Aletihad News Center
Other key achievements include the UAE's successful hosting of the 8th edition of the SportAccord International
Convention in 2010 — the first time it was held in the Middle East — and the 2018 Youth Olympic Games silver medal

in show jumping won by rider Omar Al Marzooqi, which marked a new chapter for Emirati athletes.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed stressed that sustaining the success of the national Olympic movement requires
the collective efforts of all stakeholders — including sports federations and organisations involved in Olympic affairs —
to ensure athletes receive the support and environment they need to excel and uphold the UAE’s legacy of sporting

excellence on the global stage.

The meeting also included the presentation of the International Olympic Committee’s approval of the NOC General
Assembly’s resolution to extend the mandate of the Board of Directors for the 2024–2028 Olympic cycle.

The meeting also approved the NOC’s technical and administrative report for 2024, as well as its strategic vision and
Olympic activity plan for the same period.

These approvals reaffirm the NOC’s active role as a prominent member of major continental and international sports
bodies and its commitment to supporting events held under their umbrella, reflecting the UAE’s dedication to fostering
the Olympic spirit and promoting values of excellence, friendship, and respect.

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, Secretary-General of the NOC, Faris Mohammed Al Mutawa, 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 the 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.
