“Dubai is one of the global leaders when it comes to supporting sports and providing facilities for all members of our diverse community – young and old, men and women, and People of Determination – to practise sports, as well as in supporting our budding young athletes to reach their potential through different development programs, and helping them achieve success on the international stage.”
Tayer continued: “The Dubai Sports Council will work to fulfil its role to the fullest, in accordance with government decrees, laws and legislations, and in accordance with the government’s objectives and the directives of our Chairman, Sheikh Hamdan.
“We will cooperate with all government entities and sports institutions to make sure our performance and the performance of the sports sector in the coming period improves at both the administrative and organizational levels, and our achievements befit the support we receive from our inspirational leadership and match the development and success of the other sectors in the UAE.”
