Approval has also been granted for the sessions and programmes of the conference, the first-of-its-kind in the UAE and the entire region. The details and other matters related to the conference were all announced during the 5th periodical meeting of the DSC Board, chaired by Mattar Al Tayer, Deputy Chairman of the DSC, in the presence of Saeed Hareb, the Secretary-General of the DSC, and the other Board members. Mattar Al Tayer said, "The UAE is one of the top countries which supports the implementation of sports Artificial Intelligence in all fields to enhance scientific development, boost the State’s achievements and economic durability and ensure the happiness of individuals. The sports sector needs to reflect this policy into reality and to utilise the UAE’s motivating environment and the technological development across various fields, via 5th generation techniques, to enable the country to present a vital role as an international centre for the use of Artificial Intelligence in sports."

This proposal is part of the DSC’s efforts to review mechanisms and the rules of work in clubs, besides the continuous updating of organisational and financial regulations. The DSC Board also surveyed means of supporting organisers of various sports events in the emirate of Dubai and dealt with policies to enable them to carry out their respective tasks in this vital sector, targeted at maintaining the health and happiness of athletes and sports fans.
