Muscat – The Youth and Human Resources Committee of Majlis A’Shura held a consultative session on Wednesday with representatives of local sports clubs to review the Draft Law on Sports Associations, which was recently submitted by the government.

The session was part of the committee’s broader mandate to ensure that new legislation reflects the operational realities and challenges faced by sports organisations across the sultanate.

Committee chairman Younis Ali al Mandhari opened the session by welcoming participants and acknowledging the importance of stakeholder dialogue in shaping effective legislation. He said feedback from clubs was critical to aligning the legal framework with national development priorities.

Mandhari explained that the draft law aims to modernise the sector and establish clear regulations governing sports associations. The proposed legislation supports the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, particularly in fostering good governance, promoting transparency and enhancing professional standards in the sports sector. It also recognises the role of sports in sustainable development and social cohesion.

Key provisions of the draft were outlined during the session, followed by feedback from club presidents, who raised points related to formal recognition of sports entities, disciplinary procedures and dispute resolution. The exchanges reflected the committee’s intention to base legislation on practical insights and regulatory best practices.

Participants welcomed the initiative and noted that the draft represented an important step in improving collaboration between public authorities and sports institutions.
