The General Sports Authority attaches great importance to the continuous development of the sports ecosystem in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This commitment aligns with the ambitious visions of our wise leadership, ensuring the sports sector remains a fundamental pillar of the nation’s comprehensive development.
Guided by the Royal Directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the King of the country—may God protect and preserve him—which emphasize the importance of cultivating a fertile environment for athletes that inspires regional and international achievements, we strive to empower national clubs. By developing their technical and administrative capacities, we honor their primary role in discovering and nurturing talent, while providing a modern and sustainable infrastructure.
The Authority is dedicated to implementing strategies centered on institutional performance and service quality. This is achieved through the vision of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa—may God protect him—as we seek to elevate institutional operations and enhance government services. Furthermore, the sports movement enjoys the steadfast support and patronage of His Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, who plays a pivotal role in advancing Bahraini sports toward greater excellence.
In this context, we highly value the distinguished efforts of His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Chairman of the General Sports Authority. His leadership has effectively contributed to developing the sports sector and boosting the competitiveness of sports clubs and national teams through qualitative initiatives, development programs, and the fostering of partnerships and innovation across the sporting landscape.
The strategy of the General Sports Authority is built upon creating an integrated and sustainable sports system. This system is rooted in effective governance, investment in national talent, and infrastructure development that keeps pace with global best practices, thereby strengthening Bahrain’s presence on the world stage and its standing on international podiums.
We pray to the Almighty to grant us all success in serving our dear homeland and to continue our work with sincerity and dedication to achieve further accomplishments that raise the flag of Bahrain high.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
Salman bin Mohammed Al Khalifa
Vice President of the General Sports Authority
