A MESSAGE

FROM THE
PRESIDENT

Our mission is to facilitate and develop sailing and rowing within the State of Qatar, nurture talented athletes, and enable them to achieve advanced results at the continental and international levels. To this end, we seek to discover talented athletes to include them in our regional, continental, and international championships, to represent the country, and to achieve accomplishments that will serve as inspiring examples for future generations.

One of our most important goals as a federation is to contribute to the high level of sports in the country according to international standards, thereby enhancing awareness of the concept of sports and its positive effects on individual health. Through our federation, we will spare no effort to encourage athletes to showcase their talents, abilities, and physical skills during their participation in local, regional, and international events.

Just as we are proud of our beloved country, Qatar's impressive record of hosting local, continental and international sporting events, we aspire to achieve the Federation's goals in the Qatar 2030 Strategy, and for Qatar to occupy a leading global position in the field of sports, as we have known in the past, to possess sporting talents and facilities built to the latest international standards and the highest international specifications.

Last but not least, our doors are open for all to come and try these beautiful sports and become part of this large community.
