Speaking at the first meeting of the newly formed Board of Directors of the Council, Sheikh Mansoor lauded the new board members who have been entrusted by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed with the mission of managing and developing the sports sector in Dubai.
Sheikh Mansoor praised the efforts of the outgoing members of the Council’s Board of Directors, including Mattar Al Tayer, former Vice Chairman of the Board, and former members Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri; Maryam Al Hammadi; Hala Badri; Sami Al Qamzi; Moza Al Marri; and Jamal Al Marri, whose valuable inputs over the years have contributed to the development of the sports sector in Dubai and the UAE.
During the meeting, Sheikh Mansoor outlined the key priorities of the Council for the upcoming phase. "Our efforts will be guided by the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which serves as a roadmap for Dubai’s social development over the next decade. This aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and follows the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai. Our focus will be on managing and developing the sports sector to ensure it contributes to the achievement of the government's objectives," Sheikh Mansoor noted. The Dubai Social Agenda 33 was launched by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed at the beginning of this year under the theme ‘Family: The Foundation of Our Nation’.
Sheikh Mansoor emphasised the vital role played by the Dubai Sports Council in strengthening partnerships with public and private sectors, facilitating investment in sports, and leveraging government policies to launch innovative projects. These efforts aim to boost the sports sector's contribution to Dubai's GDP and the community.
He also highlighted Dubai's commitment to nurturing sports talent, positioning the city as a hub for creativity and an exemplary model for quality of life.
The meeting also reviewed the preparations for key upcoming events and programmes.
