Bahrain will welcome the world’s leading minds in sports technology on April 24, 2025, for the third Bahrain International Virtual Conference on AI in Sports. Organized by the General Sports Authority (GSA) alongside the His Highness Shaikh Nasser Center for Research and Development in Artificial Intelligence and the “I am Talented” programme, this event promises to deliver sharp insights into how technology is transforming athletics.
The virtual gathering will feature prominent speakers from universities and sports organizations in Spain, Italy, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Their expertise will highlight Bahrain’s growing stature as a hub for forward-thinking sports initiatives.
Royal Backing Fuels Progress
The conference owes much of its momentum to HH Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, Chairman of the GSA, and President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee. Since launching the event in 2021—the Middle East’s first of its kind—his support has been pivotal. “His Highness has set a clear path for integrating new tools into sports,” said Dr. Jassim Haji, Chairman of the Conference Organising Committee. “This is about giving athletes and the industry a real edge.”
Breaking Down the Focus
This year’s agenda will tackle practical ways technology is reshaping sports, including:
- Scouting Talent: Systems to identify and develop promising athletes.
- Boosting Performance: Methods to refine training and recovery for competitors.
- Connecting with Fans: Tools that deepen the bond between teams and their supporters.
These discussions aim to address the needs of everyone involved—coaches, players, administrators, and spectators alike.
Bahrain’s Place on the Map
Hosting this conference is a deliberate move for Bahrain, which has steadily built its reputation in sports technology since 2021. “We’re shaping the conversation around how innovation can elevate the game,” Dr. Haji noted. “This event puts actionable ideas in front of the people who need them most.” The Kingdom’s efforts signal its intent to play a meaningful role in the global sports landscape, blending tradition with a clear-eyed view of what’s next.
A Date to Watch
Mark April 24, 2025, on your calendar. With its blend of international expertise and practical focus, the third Bahrain International Virtual Conference on AI in Sports is set to be a must-attend for anyone serious about the future of athletics.
