The Ministry of Interior also presented its efforts in supporting

community sports activities through initiatives such as Positive Spirit, the
Dubai World Challenge for Obstacle Course Racing, and the Dubai Police

thousands from across various community segments.

The Ministry of Sports reviewed the final preparations for the third
