The Egyptian Olympic Committee has officially announced the election of Dr. Aya Madani, a member of the committee, by acclamation to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Sports Federation.
Egyptian Olympic Committee Statement
The statement from the Egyptian Olympic Committee is as follows:
In a new scene reflecting Egypt's growing presence on the international sports stage, Dr. Aya Madani has won by acclamation in the elections for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Sports Federation, demonstrating the confidence that Egyptian figures enjoy within international sports institutions.
Dr. Madani's success came with the support and endorsement of the Egyptian Olympic Committee, led by Engineer Yasser Idris, Chairman of the Board, as part of efforts to strengthen the spirit of cooperation and goodwill within the Egyptian Olympic system, and to open doors for national talents to actively participate in international sports decision-making.
This scene was not merely a fleeting electoral victory; winning such positions by acclamation carries a clear message: there is trust, there is acceptance, and there is an Egyptian name that has managed to assert itself without the need for a battle of votes.
This step provides Dr. Aya Madani with a new opportunity to continue her presence in the circles of the Olympic movement, benefiting from her sports and administrative experience, at a time when the Egyptian Olympic Committee seeks to enhance the representation of Egyptian talents in various international sports organizations and bodies.
Engineer Yasser Idris, through his support for Dr. Madani's success, emphasizes that Olympic work is not limited to championships and medals, but also extends to building capacities, developing relationships, and attracting international trust for the benefit of Egyptian sports.
This philosophy is clearly reflected in the actions of the President of the Egyptian Olympic Committee, who also serves as Vice President of the International Water Sports Federation and a member of the executive board of Mediterranean countries, working to expand Egypt's presence in international sports forums.
Most importantly, Dr. Aya Madani's success, as a member of the International Olympic Committee, by acclamation in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation comes at a time when Egyptian sports needs capable faces to represent it beyond the confines of the playing fields, and to have figures who can transform Egypt's presence from mere participation to influence and decision-making.
