10/24/25, 11:46 AM Sports Coordination Council holds second meeting of 2025 to enhance coordination, strengthen national sports ecosystem
April 26, culminating in the crowning of champions at the end of the
academic year.

The UAE Committee for Talent and Sports Support presented the
achievements of its Talent Committee Platform, the nation’s first digital

platform dedicated to identifying and developing talented athletes. To
date, 1,169 athletes have created personal profiles, 307 have submitted

official applications, and 126 were invited to the first assessment camp,
which saw participation from 101 athletes across 22 different sports. The

platform serves as a comprehensive national database for physical
activity and athletic performance, enabling the tracking and scientific

evaluation of athletes under the supervision of international scouts.

The Ministry also presented the ‘National Sports Talent Schools’ initiative
(NSTS), launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, which
aims to transform government school complexes into comprehensive

sports training centers after school hours. These centers will welcome
students of all nationalities and backgrounds, promoting community

participation through recreational sports hubs and embedding sports as
a core pillar of student well-being. The initiative seeks to establish clear

pathways for identifying and nurturing national talent and raising the
competitive level of student athletes.

In conclusion, the UAE National Olympic Committee (NOC) outlined its
plans to host the headquarters of 23 national sports federations, as well

as three Asian federations (Rugby, Karate, and Badminton) and two Arab
federations (Basketball and Rugby). The NOC has also allocated shared

offices for federations without premises and meeting halls for general
assemblies and workshops, all provided free of charge. The NOC will

cover all logistical costs, underscoring its commitment to supporting
national sports federations, providing a professional working
environment, and enhancing institutional coordination and performance

across the UAE’s sports ecosystem.

Moreover, attendees emphasised the importance of coordination
between all relevant parties to achieve institutional integration. They also

underscored the importance of fostering an integrated and sustainable
sports ecosystem, which can help advance the National Sports Strategy
