His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, who is a Supreme Council Member and the Ruler of Sharjah, has issued a new Emiri Decree. This decree is about reorganising the Sharjah Women’s Sports (SWS) to make it stronger and more focused on women’s sports.

Independent and Strong on Its Own

The decree says that the SWS will now be an independent government body. This means it can make its own decisions and take legal steps to reach its goals. It will also manage its own money and staff without needing approval from other departments.

Leadership and Office Location

The SWS will be led by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, who is the wife of the Ruler of Sharjah. She will be supported by an experienced advisor who understands the world of sports.
