The UAE Committee for Talent and Sports Support presented the achievements of its Talent Committee Platform, the nation’s first

have submitted official applications, and 126 were invited to the first assessment camp, which saw participation from 101 athletes

enabling the tracking and scientific evaluation of athletes under the supervision of international scouts.

National Sport Talent Schools (NSTS)

The Ministry also presented the ‘National Sports Talent Schools’ initiative (NSTS), launched in collaboration with the Ministry of
Education, which aims to transform government school complexes into comprehensive sports training centers after school hours.
These centers will welcome students of all nationalities and backgrounds, promoting community participation through recreational
sports hubs and embedding sports as a core pillar of student well-being. The initiative seeks to establish clear pathways for
identifying and nurturing national talent and raising the competitive level of student athletes.
UAE National Olympic Committee: Strengthening Institutional Integration

In conclusion, the UAE National Olympic Committee (NOC) outlined its plans to host the headquarters of 23 national sports
federations, as well as three Asian federations (Rugby, Karate, and Badminton) and two Arab federations (Basketball and Rugby).
The NOC has also allocated shared offices for federations without premises and meeting halls for general assemblies and
workshops, all provided free of charge. The NOC will cover all logistical costs, underscoring its commitment to supporting national
sports federations, providing a professional working environment, and enhancing institutional coordination and performance across
the UAE’s sports ecosystem.Top of FormBottom of Form

enhance the UAE's global sports competitiveness, propose necessary solutions and recommendations, coordinate and synergise
efforts between various sports entities and host major sports events to promote the sector’s sustainable growth. The Council also
