“Its formation reflects our commitment,” said Al Falasi, “to invest in the energy and creativity of young Emirati men

and women, and to provide institutional platforms that enable them to take part in decision-making and contribute
actively to the development of our sports ecosystem, in alignment with the objectives of the National Sports Strategy

2031 and the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.”

In addition, the Council supports the Ministry’s mission to achieve institutional excellence in line with the Sheikh

Khalifa Government Excellence Programme (SKGEP), promoting collaboration across government entities to
advance national objectives.

This initiative is part of the broader Youth Councils programme 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 environment that is collaborative

and supports open dialogue.

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

Al Jarwan, with Dr. Mansoor Al Shezawi serving as the Vice Chair. Its members include Abdulrahman Al Mansoori,

Hamad Al Jasmi, Fatima Al Suwaidi, Mohammed Khalifa Al Qamzi, and Duaij Al Dhanhani.

Newly appointed chairman Al Jarwan said the formation is “a strategic move towards empowering young talent and

ensuring that their voices are heard by decision-makers at the Ministry of Sports.

“It demonstrates the 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

leadership,” he stated.
