The establishment of this governing body aims to enhance cycling as a sport in the emirate and is set to create a more structured framework for its development. This move signifies Sharjah’s commitment to promoting an active lifestyle and further stimulates interest in cycling across the region.
Leadership Structure of the Sharjah Cycling Club
According to the decision, the Board of Directors for the Sharjah Cycling Club will be led by Sheikh Rashid bin Paker bin Hamad bin Majid Al Qasimi. Joining him are notable members including:
- Sheikh Saud bin Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi
- Brigadier Jassim Muhammad bin Hudha Swedi
- Engineer Khalid Muhammad Abdullah Al Ali
- Mr. Salem Ahmed Salem Al Swedi

This leadership is poised to set a new precedent in the club’s operations and strategic direction, facilitating the growth of cycling initiatives in Sharjah.
Administrative Roles and Responsibilities
The council’s first meeting will focus on assigning administrative positions among its members. Plans are in place to elect a Vice President, either through consensus or by means of a secret ballot, ensuring a democratic approach to governance. The collaborative spirit demonstrated within the newly formed board highlights the emphasis on teamwork aimed at advancing cycling in the emirate.
Term and Continuity of Governance
The term of membership on the Board of Directors for the Sharjah Cycling Club is set for four years, with the possibility of renewal for the same duration. This structure allows for continuity and stability, ensuring that the club can operate efficiently even after its members’ terms have ended, as it will continue to manage its duties until a new board is formed or the existing one is re-elected.
The establishment of the Sharjah Cycling Club’s Board of Directors, as decreed by the Crown Prince, marks a vital step forward in fostering a vibrant cycling culture within Sharjah. Through its leadership and governance dynamics, the club is well-positioned to promote not just cycling as a sport, but also a healthier lifestyle in the community.
