Sheikha Shamsa bint Hasher Al Maktoum, member of the Board of UAE Volleyball Association, has said that they are working on a plan to resume women's sport in the country and urged everyone to stay home during the global coronavirus pandemic.
Women's sport, like all other sports in the country, has come to a halt because of the pandemic and Sheikha Shamsa said it was even more important to stay fit and healthy during these times.
"The entire world is currently passing through a tough stage, and we need to unite our efforts and comply with the instructions of the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management," Sheikha Shamsa said on the sidelines of a virtual forum for female players of various Dubai clubs, organised by the Dubai Sports Council (DSC), on Tuesday.
"At the same time, we need to keep encouraging our females to continue exercising at home. "Exercising regularly is important, even if it is at a lower rate than before, because it will ensure the players stay fit and healthy in these challenging times," the Sheikha added.
During the forum, Sheikha Shamsa also said that precautionary measures will be taken to ensure the safety of players, when sporting activities resume.
"We are working on a plan to resume our sports activities at a time that will be determined by our wise leadership, and we will take all the necessary precautionary measures to ensure the total safety of our players upon the resumption of sports activity. A comprehensive sterilisation program must be adopted by all clubs and auto-sterilization gates need to be fixed at the entrance of all clubs," she explained.
"But for now, I urge all female players to adhere to the government's instructions and stay at home," added Sheikha Shamsa.
The forum was attended by Rawda Al Mahrazi, Chairwomen of the Council's Women's Sports Committee, and more than 40 players from different clubs.
