He emphasized in a statement that the role of the Ministry of Sports during seminars is for awareness, explanation, and clarifying implementation mechanisms, and is not a prerequisite for its enforcement to begin.

This statement came in response to numerous inquiries about the reasons for the delay in implementing the sports law two years after its issuance, as it has not yet been officially put into effect.
Libya
Libya is a North African country with a rich history rooted in ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians and Romans, followed by centuries of Arab and Ottoman influence. In the modern era, it was an Italian colony before gaining independence in 1951, later becoming known for Muammar Gaddafi’s lengthy rule from 1969 until the 2011 revolution. The country is home to UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the ancient Greek city of Cyrene and the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna.
Ministry of Sports
The Ministry of Sports is a government department responsible for overseeing and promoting sports, physical education, and recreational activities within a nation. Its history is tied to the modern recognition of sports’ societal importance, with many countries establishing such ministries in the 20th century to foster national fitness, organize competitions, and develop athletic infrastructure.
Olympic General Assembly
The Olympic General Assembly is the supreme governing body of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), where representatives from the global Olympic Movement convene to make key decisions. It was formally established with the creation of the IOC in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin, and its sessions determine host cities, amend the Olympic Charter, and elect IOC members.
