The Technical Affairs Committee of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) held a meeting with sports federations to review the progress of the Preparation Strategy for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games and the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028, as well as other interim sporting events and major championships.
His Excellency Nasser Al Tamimi, Board Member and Chairman of the Technical Affairs Committee at the NOC opened the meeting by underlining the critical role of streamlined coordination with all sports federations, as it is central to achieving strategic targets across all upcoming high-profile events.
The committee meeting reviewed the implications of the new Sports Law for advancing technical aspects within federations and examined ways to benefit from the law for optimal collaboration with various sports bodies. Discussions also centred on harnessing the potential of school sports activities across public and private schools, universities, clubs, and academies.
The Technical Affairs Committee further recommended reviewing the successful experiences of sports federations and linking the federations to private entities, especially with activities managed by those entities. The meeting explored integrating these activities into the official events calendars of sports federations and proposed a workshop on best practices among federations, slated for late November.
Commenting on the meeting, Al Tamimi stated, “The meeting provided a comprehensive review of the outcomes from our previous session, which defined a holistic preparation strategy encompassing both technical and financial projections for the coming years. This strategy addresses the full cycle of five major games: the 2025 Asian Youth Games in Tashkent, the Islamic Solidarity Games in Saudi Arabia that same year, the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.”
Al Tamimi emphasised the importance of continued engagement with private-sector partners, including academies, clubs, schools, and universities, saying, “Such collaboration not only expands sports participation and elevates performance standards, but is also essential in scouting and nurturing talent, broadening competition diversity, optimising facility use, and building cohesive public-private partnerships. It also calls for promoting the sports and wellness culture within the community, driving sustainable sports development, and helping achieve an essential balance between academic and athletic pursuits.”
