GAS organises second edition of community sports exhibition in mid-May

The General Authority of Sports (GAS), in collaboration with the UAE Sports For All Federation, will organise the community sports exhibition for the second consecutive year. The exhibition, which is scheduled on May 15 and 16, 2024 at the Authority’s headquarters in Dubai, will be held in the presence of His Excellency Ghanim Mubarak Al Hajeri, Director General of GAS, to promote sports culture, community sport and physical activities among the society, playing sports a key part of lifestyle. The move comes in line with the vision and aspirations of our wise leadership and the directions of National Sports Strategy 2031 to support the achievement of its objectives that contribute to the advancement of the sports sector in the country.

The exhibition signifies GAS’s strategy to encourage and empower different segments of society to be physically active by offering a variety of opportunities to participate in sports activities, further emphasising the significance of a healthy and active lifestyle. It will include a wide array of events in different pavilions such as awareness shows, sports competitions and sports performances to promote community communication and positive interaction. Furthermore, it will provide the visitors with an opportunity to benefit from health advice and sports guidance from experts.

This year’s community sports exhibition is expected to be distinctive, instilling a passion for sports by gathering the community and ensuring the participation of a large number of government agencies and private sector institutions. The exhibition will congregate 25 different authorities, which include sports federations and specialised sports companies, to raise awareness of sports and health among community members.

GAS invites all community groups to be part of this sports awareness experience and contribute to build a healthy and vibrant sports environment in the society. These efforts come in line with the vision and commitment of GAS to raise awareness of the significance of integrating physical activities into the lives of all individuals, further establishing a thriving sports community that can attain global recognition.
