Objectives of the National Sports Strategy

The United Arab Emirates stands out as a country deeply committed to sports and the continuous development of its sporting sector, both on the regional and international stages. Anchored within the UAE's resolute vision and unwavering dedication to advancing this sector, the "National Sports Strategy - 2031" emerged, driven by the goal of propelling the UAE to a position of leadership in sports, not only within its borders but also on regional and global platforms.

In a momentous juncture, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, granted his approval to the "National Strategy for Sports-2031" in June 2023. This historic milestone marked the launch of the UAE's first comprehensive national strategy for the sports sector. His Highness underscored the significance of sports, proclaiming it as the optimal path for youth, a protector of societal health, and a means to proudly wave the UAE's flag in international forums.
