Minister of Culture and Sports HE Salah bin Ghanem bin Nasser al-Ali issued yesterday a decision to adopt the new statutes of the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) based on amendments proposed by the federation.
This decision is part of the strategy of the Ministry of Culture and Sports to empower young people and develop their capabilities as well as enhance the level of sport in Qatar, and within the co-ordination and fruitful co-operation between the Ministry and QMMF.
The decision also aims at enhancing QMMF’s independence in the management of its affairs, as is the case in other federations, in order to enhance the level of the sport in the State and maintain its leadership in the international sports community. It also seeks to enable young people to participate effectively in the management of the federation and its sports clubs, involve them in their decision-making, and encourage them to make initiatives and proposals that will improve sports, which reflects the State’s confidence in the youth and their potential and ability in this field.
The QMMF General Assembly has been formed, including all sports clubs that exercise any sports activity of cars and motorcycles. Within three months, the General Assembly would prepare for the election of a new board of directors as well as the adoption of QMMF’s strategic plan and programmes in addition to exercising the other powers provided for in the statute.
An executive body was also established in Qatar SC and Al Sadd that specialise in motorsports. Qatar SC hosted the motorcycles activities at the Batabit centre, while Al Sadd hosted motor activities at Mawater centre. The two clubs are included in the members of the General Assembly of QMMF, in addition to the other specialised clubs that practice motorssports, such as Lusail SC.
The move aims to establish a promising national base that invests their experience and seeks to embrace initiatives and youth efforts in this field through the activities, and competitions organised by QMMF or participating locally and internationally, which is of great importance to the individual and society, and contributes to the dissemination of traffic culture among young people and open channels of communication with veterans athletes in order to benefit from their experiences and find a common space to discuss issues related to mechanical sports.
