Press Release

The Authority has set out several criteria to improve the identification and support of sporting
talents. This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration among stakeholders to uphold the
principles of effective sports management and corporate governance. The key goal of the
initiative is to ensure commitment to the successful execution of plans, programmes, objectives

and sports strategies for all involved parties. Some of the key criteria include:

● Formulate strategies that aid in the proactive preparation and creation of a suitable

environment for the early identification of gifted individuals, empowering them
through programmes, resources, activities and scientific assessments.
● Regular assessment of the implementation and execution of the plan on the basis of the
designated indicators and initiatives. This includes ensuring that tests are conducted to
evaluate the abilities and levels of talent, using scientific principles and standards to
measure both the current performance of these individuals and their potential future
capabilities.

● Continuous monitoring and implementation of development of programmes and
systems to nurture sports talents through training camps and encourage participation in
both national and international events while offering comprehensive support and
sponsorship across various areas.
● Regular assessments and ongoing support for athletic talents and determining strengths

and areas for improvement to enhance performance development.

The Authority is accelerating its efforts to position this platform as a key contributor towards

attaining national sports goals. It aims to achieve this by supporting the development of a
competitive sports environment that helps to nurture talent through dedicated and thoughtful
plans and programs to achieve outstanding sports results and raise the flag of the UAE high in
various sports events.

The ’Empowering and Sustaining Sports Talent’ project is integrated with the transformative
project ‘Talents’. The project, in collaboration with relevant sports federations and sports
bodies, conducts a wide array of competitions, tournaments and sports festivals as well as using
new mechanisms to identify sports talent and thus expand the scope of competitive sports.
