Members of the Shura Council praised the strategic pillars presented in recent discussions, emphasizing the importance of continuing to develop youth and sports programs and strengthening inclusivity to ensure broader participation across all segments of society, including youth, women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.

They highlighted the need to improve the efficiency of sports facilities, expand their utilization, support national talents, and enhance continuous monitoring of performance indicators to measure the societal impact of programs and projects.

The members stressed that institutional partnerships should translate into more practical, extensive, and sustainable programs. They also called for ongoing efforts to link sports with public health, empower youth, and reinforce national identity and values. They noted that sports clubs serve as a key pillar in social development due to their role in nurturing talent, promoting belonging, and strengthening community engagement.

They urged maximizing the use of sports clubs by diversifying and sustaining their cultural and community programs, expanding participation to include all groups, and achieving balance between sports and social activities. They also called for stronger integration with educational institutions and civil society organizations, as well as enhanced partnerships with the private sector and better use of media tools to promote activities and reach wider segments of society, especially young people.

The members further called for developing comprehensive safety plans for future generations and addressing the growing issue of childhood obesity through cooperation between state institutions, particularly the Ministry of Sports and Youthand the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. They proposed making physical education a core academic subject with pass/fail assessment, increasing sports class hours in schools, and introducing mandatory physical activity sessions in youth centers and sports clubs to encourage regular participation in sports.

They also recommended increasing the geographic distribution of youth centers and sports clubs according to regional needs, and opening girls’ schools for women’s sports activities after school hours to encourage female participation in a suitable environment. They noted that these schools are well equipped and could be used daily for sports and physical activities, similar to models adopted in other countries, given that school facilities remain unused for long hours after the school day.

Additionally, they called for benefiting from the expertise of retirees in managing youth centers and involving them in supporting youth empowerment initiatives. They also emphasized the need to prepare young women through advanced training programs that support their role in building family and society in line with cultural values.

Members also discussed the declining participation of Qatari youth in football in particular, noting that citizens have become less present in sports clubs compared to 30–40 years ago. They called for encouraging Qatari youth to join sports clubs and engage in various sports, especially football, which remains highly popular both locally and globally.
