SKATING – SHAIKH Hamad bin Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa and Shaikh Mohammed bin Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa inaugurated Bahrain’s first public skating facility, a project that represents a new addition to the kingdom’s sports infrastructure and reflects the ongoing commitment to providing modern facilities that meet the aspirations of young people.
The project was implemented under the directives of His Majesty King Hamad’s humanitarian works and youth affairs representative and Supreme Council for Youth and Sports (SCYS) chairman Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, reflecting his commitment to supporting high-quality sporting initiatives, providing sporting environments for young people, and creating suitable spaces to discover and develop talent and strengthen its role in the kingdom’s sporting development.
The opening ceremony was attended by Minister of Youth Affairs Rawan bint Najeeb Tawfiqi, General Sports Authority CEO Dr Abdulrahman Askar, and a number of officials.
The facility is the first public venue dedicated to the sport in the kingdom, providing a safe and well-equipped environment for skaters, particularly in light of the growing popularity of skating globally following its inclusion in the Olympic Games. This highlights the importance of providing specialised facilities that support the growth of the sport and help attract more participants in Bahrain.
The facility also serves as a community space that combines sport, creativity, and social engagement, and contributes to enhancing quality of life by providing a variety of sporting and recreational options for young people, supporting healthy lifestyles and encouraging participation in sporting activities.
The project was implemented with the support and cooperation of the SCYS, the GSA, Infracorp, and Premier Q, as part of efforts to develop modern sports and provide an encouraging environment for young people to pursue their interests and develop their skills.
