The Qatar Collegiate Sports Federation (QCSF) announced its 2024-2025 season calendar on Thursday, which will feature the introduction of new sports.

The announcement came during the annual conference held under the theme "Sports Inspire Education," where various organizational, administrative, and technical issues were discussed, along with a review of the previous season's achievements.

The conference was chaired by General Secretary of QCSF, Rashid Saeed Odaiba, with representatives from universities, higher education institutions, and members of the QCSF Board of Directors in attendance.

Odaiba emphasized that Qatar's university sports system is progressing on the right path, continuously reaping the rewards of its efforts and evolving from season to season. He noted that the number of participating educational institutions, both public and private, has reached 19. The new season will introduce several sports for the first time, including chess, e-sports, cross-country running, and swimming.

He praised the positive participation of universities and higher education institutions in the International Day of University Sports on September 20, which is one of the official events recognized by UNESCO and the International University Sports Federation (FISU).

The General Secretary highlighted both the strengths and challenges experienced in the 2023-2024 season, stressing the importance of organizing tournaments in line with the examination and vacation schedules of universities and higher education institutions.

Meanwhile, Technical Director of QCSF, Rashid Ali Al Tamimi, explained the process of adding events to the season calendar, which involves submitting proposals to the Board of Directors. The board then selects activities that align with students' interests.

Al Tamimi affirmed that the Board of Directors always strives to attract the largest number of students to participate in tournaments under the QCSF umbrella.

The conference also featured productive discussions on various technical, administrative, and organizational matters aimed at ensuring the success of the tournaments and activities for the upcoming 2024-2025 sports season.
