DUBAI, 26th March, 2025 (WAM) — The Electoral Committee of the UAE National Olympic Committee
(NOC) has announced the election of H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum as
President of the NOC for the 2024–2028 Olympic term.

Sheikh Mansoor 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.

He 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, he added.

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