Every time, Dr. Abdul Rahman Askar, CEO of the Sports Authority, confirms that he is able to send optimistic messages to the sports community regarding the facilities through his appearances at press conferences; Which is resorted to according to a well-thought-out strategy that can be implemented. Because he does not want to sell the sports street (an illusion)!
• This time he came with the 2040 sports vision; Which can change the reality of various facilities, keeping pace with the results achieved by our teams in various games. Collective or individual, and supported by budgets; Which makes the possibility of its implementation high, because the proposal is realistic and implementable.
• He also came armed with accurate information about what our sporting reality needs in terms of facilities and their requirements, and gradual solving of the problems it suffers from, and perhaps he was accompanied by (Al-Othman) to his new executive administration, with the maintenance of the facilities in hand, and (Al-Sahli) with the projects in hand; To confirm that the Authority, headed by His Highness Sheikh Khaled, is aware of the problems of athletes.
• In my opinion, Dr. Askar has grown and developed as a living and progressing in our sports home; He lives with the problems faced by sports and its facilities, in clubs and federations, starting with air conditioning and the need for (32) facilities to replace, replace and repair their air conditioners, and the huge budget it requires!
•I believe that they apply (extend your edge to your feet), and not (spend what is in the pocket, and what is in the unseen will come to you). They need a huge budget for maintenance, and the idea of entrusting some maintenance matters to the clubs is good. But it requires control and scrutiny, with greater attention to the maintenance of modern facilities.
• We commend here the initiative of His Highness the Chairman of the Authority to make the investment idea part of the university students’ field initiatives, as a kind of competition for the best idea, and also the idea of (Our Audience is Gone) to advance the culture of encouragement and creativity in stadiums, and to cultivate a culture of (clean stadium) to maintain the various facilities in the facilities.
• In any case, we applaud the idea of media meetings as a kind of initiative by Dr. Askar
To inform the sports community about the reality that the Sports Authority is experiencing, and we hope that the state will increase the budget allocated for the maintenance of the facilities. This gives it sustainability for the longest lifespan, especially since it cost tens of millions of dinars.
