In a significant move for one of Bahrain's longstanding sports institutions, His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who chairs both the General Sports Authority (GSA) and Bahrain Olympic Committee (BOC), has appointed an interim board to take the reins at Tubli Sports Club. The directive, part of Decision No. (20) of 2024, signals fresh leadership aimed at steering the club through a period of transition and renewal.

New Leadership, Familiar Faces

At the head of this interim team is Abbas Mohammed Hashem Al Tublani, a respected figure in the local sports community. Al Tublani is joined by a roster of seasoned professionals, including Fadhel Hassan Mohammed Yusuf Al Mukharraq, Hassan Jaffer bin Rajab, Hussain Ahmed Nasser Mohammed, Mohammed Eid Abdulhussain Ali, Ameen Hassan Salem Hassan, Mohammed Jassim Abdullah Abdul Mahdi, and Hassan Ali Hassan Nasser Mohammed. This group brings a mix of experience and ambition that Tubli fans will be watching closely.

A Critical Juncture for Tubli

The decision comes at a time when Tubli Sports Club is looking to re-establish itself as a competitive force in Bahraini sports. This interim board’s mandate, while not detailed in the announcement, is expected to focus on reinforcing the club’s operations, updating its administrative structures, and possibly reinvigorating its athletic programs to better serve its members and community. For a club with deep roots, this leadership change represents an opportunity to regain momentum.

Support for Bahraini Sports and Local Clubs

For Shaikh Khalid, this move is part of a broader agenda to ensure Bahraini sports clubs are well-positioned to support youth and foster talent. With his roles at SCYS, GSA, and BOC, Shaikh Khalid’s decisions are closely watched across the sports community. By putting Tubli Sports Club under new, experienced management, he’s sending a clear message: Bahrain’s sports clubs, no matter how established, will be supported in pursuing excellence and innovation.

All eyes will be on Tubli’s new board as it takes on the challenge of guiding the club into its next chapter. For fans and members, the hope is that this temporary leadership team will be the catalyst for lasting progress.
