His Excellency further stated: “The School Games play a critical role in nurturing future champions, and empowering Emirati athletes to shine on the world
stage, achieving great success at the Olympics, as well as various continental and international levels. Such tournaments also help foster a culture of sports
within the community by inspiring young people to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. This year’s edition, in particular, has truly lived up to our expectations,
due to impressive participation and the strong spirit of competition displayed by the students. As the finals commence, the nation’s most talented young
athletes will compete for the top spots and a chance to win gold, silver, and bronze medals.”

The annual School Games Championship is organised by the UAE Sports Federation for schools and University Institutions in collaboration with the Ministry
of Sports, the Ministry of Education, the National Olympic Committee, and several sports federations and educational bodies. This strategic collaboration
reflects ongoing cooperation between the sports and education sectors to support emerging athletic talents and achieve the goals of the ‘National Sports
Strategy 2031’, which aims to increase the number of Emirati athletes qualifying for successive Olympic Games, with an ambitious target of more than 30
athletes set for the 2032 Olympics.
