Sharjah 24: Sheikh Faisal bin Humaid Al Qasimi, president of the Arab Cycling Federation (ACF), has confirmed his candidacy for a new term in the 2024–2028 electoral cycle, with elections slated for early September in the Sultanate of Oman.

He added that his decision to run again is in response to calls from several Arab national federation heads, who have asked for his ongoing leadership to complete the development of strategic programs and protect the sport's valuable legacy and progress on both the Arab and global levels.

He also stated that the upcoming term will be his penultimate in his athletic career, expressing optimism that the work made thus far will assist in building on historic achievements while designing efforts linked with global improvements to create a strong route for future generations.

Al-Qasimi emphasised that the Arab Cycling Federation has made important international accomplishments, most notably when the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) recognised Arab championships in 2018 and added them to the world schedule.

This has helped Arab cyclists to qualify for the Olympics and World Championships. He also mentioned the introduction of Arab women's cycling championships, the expansion of road, track, mountain, and para-cycling events, the formation of the Arab Cycling Centre as a technical training hub, and the creation of the "Arab Cycling City" award.
