UAE National Olympic Council to assess sports organisations

WAM

The UAE’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) is going to be assessing the technical capacity of sports federations, associations and organisations in the country.

They will all be required to fill out a survey which comprises 11 pillars covering various aspects of work. 

The survey’s 11 pillars include the federations’ technical strategies, their numbers of registered athletes and technical staff, the names of eligible athletes who can qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024, and their financial resources.

A series of field visits will be conducted, starting with the UAE Football Association on September 6, followed by the UAE Basketball Association the next day, and the UAE Handball Federation on September 8. 

The survey will continue at a rate of four visits per week at all sports federations, ending on October 27, with a visit to Emirates Aerosports Federation.
