1/31/24, 5:14 PM GAS completes the first session of ‘Transformation of Sports Federations’ project with a series of field visits to six federations …
This marks the conclusion of project’s final phase of its first session, preceded by two

comprehensive stages. In these stages, the General Authority of Sports (GAS) dedicated efforts
to monitoring and analysing the 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.
