achieve institutional excellence in line with the Sheikh Khalifa Government Excellence Program (SKGEP),

promoting collaboration across government entities to advance national objectives. This initiative is part of
the broader Youth Councils program managed by the Federal Youth Authority.

The Youth Council aims to empower youth within national sports institutions and promote innovation by

supporting new ideas and initiatives that drive progress in the sector, in line with the country’s ambitious
sports vision. The Council also plays a key role in enhancing internal engagement by establishing effective

communication channels between young employees and senior leadership, helping to build a work

The Council is composed of a select group of distinguished young professionals from the Ministry, chaired

by Hamad Hassan Rashid Al Jarwan, with Dr. Mansoor Darwish Ahmad Al Shezawi serving as the Vice
Chair. Its members include Abdulrahman Ahmed Abdulla Al Mansoori, Hamad Mohammed Hussein Al

Jasmi, Fatima Majid Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Mohammed Khalifa Ali Mohamed Al Qamzi, and Duaij Khalifa
Saeed Al Dhanhani.

As Chairman of the Youth Council, Hamad Al Jarwan expressed his deep appreciation for both the Council's

establishment and his appointment. “The formation of the Youth Council is a strategic move toward
empowering young talent and ensuring that their voices are heard by decision-makers at the Ministry of

Sports. It demonstrates the Ministry’s strong commitment to a participatory approach and to engaging
directly with youth, who are central to shaping the future of sports in the UAE. We remain dedicated to
playing an active role in the development of the sports sector through innovative proposals, strengthening

collaboration across all divisions of the Ministry, and conveying the aspirations of young athletes to the
Ministry’s leadership,” he stated.

The establishment of the Youth Council is part of the Ministry of Sports’ strategic vision to involve young

people in the decision-making process, recognising this as a long-term investment in national talent. By
creating institutional platforms that reflect the ambitions of youth, the Ministry aims to build a generation

of skilled national professionals who are capable of leading the future of the sports sector and can
contribute meaningfully to its development across all levels.
