7/22/25, 11:08 AM Ministry of Sports applauds UAE Chess Federation’s pioneering initiative to include resident members in Board of Directors | Sport…
This initiative underscores the importance of integrating highly skilled individuals into sports leadership roles, especially in
specialised fields like marketing, strategic planning, data analysis, and advanced technologies.

According to the Ministry, engaging experts in leadership positions will help drive performance excellence and aligns with its
broader strategy to enhance the administrative capacities of sports federations. The goal is to build dynamic, accountable, and
innovative institutions.

Additionally, the adoption of the electoral list system is seen as a significant organisational step forward. It strengthens the
principles of integrity, transparency, specialisation, and effective administration.

For the Ministry, governance is more than a regulatory concept — it's a strategic framework that supports collaboration among
sports entities, facilitates talent development, encourages wider participation in sports, and enhances overall performance.

The Ministry reaffirmed that its role extends beyond funding and logistics. It includes developing effective administrative
frameworks, ensuring strong governance, and equipping boards of directors with tools for institutional innovation and long-
term success.
