4/11/25, 2:50 PM Mansoor bin Mohammed elected President of UAE National Olympic Committee
2004 Summer Olympics, when Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al

Maktoum won gold in the men's double trap shooting event.

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 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.
