The UAE Sports for All Federation is dedicated to promoting inclusive sports and active lifestyles across the UAE by providing accessible programs for people of all ages and abilities.
Established under the General Authority of Youth Welfare and Sports Resolution No. (115) of 2004, the UAE Sports for All Federation was later transformed from a committee into an official federation under the Ministry of Culture and Community Development and the General Authority of Sports Resolution No. (95) of 2016. Since its establishment, the Federation has played a leading national role in promoting community sports and encouraging inclusive sports participation across the United Arab Emirates.
The Federation is committed to providing a wide range of sports programs and activities that cater to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, driven by the belief that sport is a right for everyone. Working in collaboration with national sports federations, government entities, and local and international partners, the Federation oversees a diverse portfolio of sports and recreational activities, creating a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment that promotes physical well-being, social engagement, and the spirit of positive competition.
The initiative aims to create a healthy, inclusive sports environment that strengthens community cohesion by implementing sports activities, events, and initiatives throughout the year across the UAE’s emirates, targeting all age groups and nationalities. It also seeks to promote the concept of “Sport for All” by fostering an active lifestyle and making sports accessible to every member of the community.
In addition, the initiative focuses on increasing participation in physical activities among people of all ages and both genders by supporting and encouraging sports programs and community-based activities. It is committed to providing the necessary facilities, resources, and opportunities to enable everyone to engage in regular sports and physical exercise.
Contribute to the creation of a conscious and educated society whose members enjoy a healthy and physically fit body by providing all members and segments of society with healthy, healthy and recreational sports habits and practices, and work to make sports practice a self-behavior for members of society in partnership with all the different parties concerned in the Emirati community.
It is an honour to lead an organisation dedicated to making sport an integral part of everyday life across the United Arab Emirates. We believe that sport is far more than competition—it is a powerful driver of health, social cohesion, personal development, and national well-being.
Our vision is to create a society where everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, has the opportunity to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle. Through innovative programmes, strategic partnerships, and inclusive community initiatives, we are committed to inspiring participation, promoting physical activity, and fostering a lifelong culture of sport for all.
As the Federation continues to grow, we remain focused on expanding opportunities that bring communities together, encourage healthier living, and support the UAE’s vision of becoming one of the world’s leading nations in quality of life and community happiness.
None of these achievements would be possible without the dedication of our partners, volunteers, athletes, government entities, and community members who share our commitment to this mission. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier, and more connected nation.
I invite you to explore our initiatives, discover the many opportunities available through the Federation, and become part of a movement that believes sport is a right for everyone and a foundation for a brighter future.
Together, let us continue to inspire active lives and shape a healthier, happier United Arab Emirates.
Since 2004, the Federation has grown steadily, strengthening its mission to promote inclusive sports, active lifestyles, and community participation across the UAE.
