1/30/24, 2:01 PM GAS completes the first session of ‘Transformation of Sports Federations’ project with a series of field visits to six federations
strategies, objectives, and initiatives of the federations. They ensured alignment of key performance
indicators with each federation’s strategic priorities and thoroughly examined their operational models.
Furthermore, an assessment was conducted on the organisational structure, policies, procedures and
regulations of all six federations. This encompassed various aspects including administrative and media
communication methods, available technologies, and budget management mechanisms. The follow-up
procedures and standards were clear, thorough, and easily implementable, reflecting the federations’
preparedness in a detailed manner.

The General Authority of Sports has signed a performance agreement with five key sports federations:
archery, judo, shooting, fencing, and athletics. The ‘Transformation of Sports Federations’ project aims to
strengthen the partnership frameworks between the General Authority of Sports and its collaborators in the
sports sector within the UAE. Additionally, the project aims to professionalise the federations, enhance the
skills of athletes, and transition from a fixed financing system to a performance-based financing model.

In the second stage of the initial project cycle, the General Authority of Sports deployed a specialised team to
provide daily support to the federations and ensure continuous communication with them. Furthermore, GAS
has organised customised workshops for each federation, providing essential guidance for the seamless
implementation of the project. Regular meetings and sessions are conducted to monitor the progress of the
six federations and provide ongoing support, fostering the development and adaptability of administrative
work practices.
