Wadha al-Saud, the sports and recreation activities supervisor at HBKU Student Affairs, said that the HBKU welcomes the establishment of the QCSF and how it reflects a great awareness of the importance of sports for university students.
She highlighted the HBKU’s commitment to provide students with opportunities to practise various sports activities to help promote their abilities, and encourages them to take part in organising and managing these events.
The HBKU will host the 9th Sports Tournament for GCC Universities and Higher Education Institutes from February 4-10, 2023.
“The university has always been a pioneer in co-operating with higher education institutions (HEIs) in Qatar,” al-Saud said.
“Prior to the establishment of the QCSF, the university organised many events that brought together these institutions, and has paid attention to co-operating with the QCSF, the Qatar Olympic Committee and Qatari sports federations,” she added. “Reflecting these aims, the HBKU is currently gearing up to organise and host the 9th Sports Tournament for GCC Universities and Higher Education Institutes 2023.”
The official said that the Committee of Student Affairs Deans decided, during its 32nd meeting held in Oman under the umbrella of the General Secretariat of the GCC, that the HBKU would organise and host the event in 2023.
“Since then, the HBKU has been preparing for this big event, both at the level of participation and organisation,” al-Saud said. “A complete restructuring is currently taking place for the participating university teams to ensure a good representation for the HBKU, especially as it is the host university.”
“On the other hand, we have developed a comprehensive plan for hosting these games,” she added. “Our university co-operates with the Qatar Olympic Committee, represented by the QCSF, as well as other Qatari sports federations.”
According to al-Saud, the HBKU is keen to form various sports teams in different games in which students can participate and develop their capabilities.
“This is not limited to sports participation only,” she stressed. “The university also involves its students in organising and managing these events. There are many students who take part in refereeing and coaching in addition to playing."
“The HBKU has always been a pioneer in co-operating with Qatar’s HEIs,” the official said. “It has organised many events to bring together HEIs even before the establishment of the QCSF.”
“This role also extends to co-operating with the country’s sports entities,” al-Saud added. “The sports department at the HBKU enjoys strong relations with many of the country’s sports authorities.”
“The HBKU’s hosting of the 9th Sports Tournament for GCC Universities and Higher Education Institutes will provide a great opportunity to deepen and expand our co-operation with other institutions and all parties who will help the university organise such a major event,” she said.
“The HBKU uses the various sports facilities inside Education City. It also utilises external facilities for some sports, including those of the sports federations, in addition to padel facilities,” she said. “The university is keen to take advantage of these facilities at all available times, as part of its endeavours to provide diverse sports venues to encourage students to train regularly and raise their physical and skill levels in various sports activities.”
