UAE, 29 January 2024– 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

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
