             UAE, July 5th, 2022- H.E Sheikh Suhail Bin Butti Al Maktoum, Executive Director of the Sports Development Sector at the General Sports
             Authority, met with high-ranking oìcials of the UAE Volleyball Association to discuss the Association’s strategy and future agendas to

             improve the game of volleyball in the UAE. H.E Abdullah Al Darmaki, President of the UAE Volleyball Association (UAE VBA) Board; Osama
             Qarqash, Vice president of UAE VBA; Jamal Al Matroushi, Vice President for Internal Representation; and Abdulaziz Salman, Secretary

             General of the Association; in the presence of Abdulaziz Al Hossan Al Shamsi, Managing Director of Competitive Sports, were present at
             the meeting. The meeting saw the oìcials explore means to improve the national team’s performance in order to enable them to achieve

             more victories in regional and international championships.



             Furthermore, discussions were held on strategies to promote governance in administrative work, increase the number of championships
             for all categories, development of beach volleyball, encouraging competitiveness of volleyball clubs, and the expansion of collaboration
             with government and private entities.



             H.E. said: “We support the eéorts by the association in outlining the future strategy and agenda for promoting administrative governance

             in the êeld of volleyball in the UAE. These eéorts fall in line with the government’s vision for the sector and the General Sports Authority’s
             aspirations in this regard, with governance being one the key pillars. We are committed to supporting the Association’s goals to

             encourage competitiveness in the êeld and improve our national team’s performance, thereby enabling them to secure more victories.”
             He added: “We laud the Association’s eéorts to develop mechanisms to discover and promote sports talent in the country. We look

             forward to its future collaborations with various governmental and private entities to ensure the popularity of this game amongst our
             youth and its continuing prominence in the UAE’s sports and games scene.”
             H.E. Abdullah Al Darmaki said: “The Association has established a collaborative mechanism with sports clubs to explore and train more

             talents. We also aspire to host international beach volleyball championships in the upcoming years capitalizing on the possibilities oéered
             by the UAE’s numerous beaches, adding more value to the country’s reputation as a destination capable of hosting leading global sports

             events.
             The Association further highlighted a study-based on a quadrilateral analysis of volleyball practice in the UAE, which analyses challenges,

             opportunities, strength and weaknesses. The Association emphasised the importance of developing young talents by increasing the
             number of games in this category, in addition to the êxed calendar that helps national clubs organise their work to achieve better

             participation in all championships.
             The General Authority of Sports strives to promote sports and games talents in the UAE and raise generations that are physically and
             technically equipped to contribute to the strengthening of national teams by helping them secure more victories locally and globally.
