His Highness said: “We are pleased to sign the MoU with the General Authority of Sports in
the UAE. We are confident that this MoU will contribute to the exchange of experiences

and cooperation in all sports fields that would help advance this vital sector. Additionally,
we would like to sincerely express our appreciation for the significant progress of all the

hospitality and warm reception in UAE, wishing further progress and prosperity in the UAE.

The MoU aims to facilitate collaboration between the involved parties in the regional and

international sports arena. Within this framework, they seek to learn the best practices of

organisations in both countries. In addition, the parties will also exchange relevant
experiences as well as audio-visual materials in different sports fields. Furthermore, they

will also explore prospects of collaboration in training sciences, athletes’ preparation and

training of sports personnel, along with discovering new sports talents. This enhances both
countries’ presence in sports with highly qualified athletes, especially in individual sports.

Through this agreement, the sports authorities of both the nations aim to exchange

programs among sports institutions and federations, work together on stadium and facility

maintenance, as well as collaborate in the field of training sciences and player
development programs. Additionally, the parties also seek to share ideas, expertise and
knowledge about youth training centres as a way to identify athletic talents and enhance

the presence of sports players in both nations.

The agreement comes as part of the efforts of the General Authority of Sports to deepen
ties and cooperation with sports entities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries
and other nations worldwide. The Authority aims to benefit from global experiences in a

diverse range of fields, particularly in sports, and elevate the presence of Emirati sports.

championships and position the country as a source of outstanding athletic talents.
