The President of the Swimming Federation, Sultan Al-Samahi, stressed that the UAE sport needs a sports parliament that includes the General Authority for Sports, the Olympic Committee and sports federations in continuous sessions for a year in order to set ambitions and address negatives, and hold sessions with federations to find out the problems of each sport and how to deal with them.

Al-Samahi told Emirates Today: “There must be governance in working with clubs that do not support national teams in various sports, and I am with the establishment of specialized centers and academies that focus on a specific sport. Clubs do not produce champions because of going to football. Foot only, so specialized centers are one of the methods of treatment, and the authority must meet with sports federations in a sports parliament to draw up a new map for Emirati sports.
