UAE: The General Authority of Sports (GAS) is conducting a series of ongoing field visits to six sports
federations covered in the project ‘Transformation of Sports Federations’ since its inception. These
federations encompass archery, judo, shooting, fencing, athletics, and cycling. This marks the

initiation of the third and final phase of the first session of the project, which is one of three significant
transformative projects among the 17 outlined in the National Sports Strategy 2031.

During these field visits, GAS is engaging in discussions on the primary strengths of the six
federations and future strategies for enhancing their governance systems, administrative efficiency,
and technical proficiency to improve overall performance. The objective of the ‘Transformation of

Sports Federations’ project is to fortify the principles of management and institutional governance
within sports federations. This is aimed at guaranteeing the successful implementation of their
programs, objectives, and plans, fostering effective governance and leadership within each

federation. The project further emphasises the professionalisation of the federations' work systems,
striving to create a productive system with managerial expertise.
