UAE authorities on Friday said legal action would be taken against any entity that
promotes or publishes false information about sports activities in the country.
The Ministry of Sports issued the warning after some entities were found to have
"announced" the establishment of certain sports federations without following legal
procedures and without obtaining necessary approvals, said a report from the state-
run news agency WAM.
Those who wish to set up sports clubs or federations are mandated to meet
requirements and follow all protocols under the sports law and other related
regulations, the ministry said.
"Bypassing the procedures ... would expose individuals and entities to legal
accountability," the ministry said.
