Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium

Kuwait Report 2015 34

8.8. Recommendations

The Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium

is National event infrastructure. In the

future it will have to perform in line with it's

status. The overall MPSI Evaluation will

have to improve and be better than »Sub

sufficient fulfilment of standards of sport

and leisure infrastructure investment and

management«.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports,

the management, architects and civil

engineering agencies and firms, will have to

find efficient solutions for repair of the failed

structural-integrity of the building and finish

construction of the facilities.

For improvement of the sustainability of the

facility the management will have to

prepare measures for reducing consumption

of natural resources and make water supply

system, energy supply system, traffic

system and other technological systems

more efficient.

Present program of The Jabar Al-Ahmad

International Stadium has no (to small)

impact on socio-economic development of

Kuwait (City) and on the growth of Kuwaiti

sport industry and creation of new jobs.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

must invest financial sources in research

and development of new innovative

programs and services of the Stadium. The

management must improve efficiency and

provide conditions for implementation of the

programs.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

will have to evaluate effectiveness of

management, maintenance efficiency,

yearly costs of operations and maintenance

and accept the measures for management

improvement. Managers and professionals

must have permanent professional training.

system, energy supply system, traffic

system and other technological systems

more efficient and the aquatic center

more sustainable.

In cooperation with firms and local

community, this aquatic center should

have some impact on the growth of sport

industry and creation of new jobs.

technologies will be one of the main tasks

of the management. Special attention will

be dedicated to bowling technologies and

structure and number of skilled employees.

10.8. Recommendations

The Kuwait City Bowling Complex

Will became the City's sport-entertainment

infrastructure. The overall MPSI Evaluation

is average. It should be improved in the

future.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports,

the management, architects and civil

engineers should finalized the building

with all necessary technical equipment

and technological systems, like energy

supply system, water treatment

technologies and others.

Program of the measures for reducing

consumption of natural resources will have

to be introduced by the management of

the center. They must make all

technological systems, like water supply

system, energy supply system, traffic

system and others, more efficient and

more sustainable.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports,

the center's management, firms and

entrepreneurs should invest time,

knowledge and money to develop

competitive programs and services.

Special offer must be prepared for sport

associations, public institutions, firms and

tourist agencies. The Bowling center, with

the hotel, restaurants, shops and offices,

should have some impact on the growth

of sport industry and creation of new jobs

in Salmiya.

The management and professionals of the

bowling complex should have permanent

professional training.

Sheikh Sabah

Al-Ahmed Olympic Shooting Complex

11.1. Introduction

Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Olympic Shooting

Complex is the biggest and most

representative shooting facility in Kuwait. It

is operated by Kuwait Shooting Club &

Federation, which are sponsored by the

Government.

Shooting since its first beginnings was

associated with strength and manhood. It

started as a weapon then developed to be

the elite sport. Islam urged the Muslims to

practice shooting sport and made it in par

with horsemanship and swimming. Thus

shooting remained always with Arabs as

source for their pride were it was a weapon

for defence and a hobby and sport.

The first shooting ranges covering skeet,

pistol and rifle ranges were built by Kuwait

Oil Company and it was inaugurated by

H.H. the Amir Sheik Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-

Sabah where he was the governor of

Ahmadi at that time. In 1959 this club was

called "Kuwait Shooting Club". Since the

early beginnings of this sport the shooting

ranges witnessed considerable expansions

and developments, especially when H.H.

The Crown Prince & Prime Minister ordered

the Olympic skeet and trap shooting ranges

complex to be built.

Following the remarkable achievements

attained by shooting sport for the country,

it was necessary for this sport to take

further steps towards independence. The

culmination of this was the proclamation of

Kuwait Shooting Club and Federation vide

the Public Authority for Youth & Sport's

decision No.576 dated December 6, 1994.

Based on PAYS decision a huge Olympic

shooting range complex was built just off

the 6th ring road.

The proclamation of the club as an

independent entity devoted for shooting

sport only enhanced and developed Kuwait

shooters ability and provided them with

latest international news and development

in their sport.

12.8. Recommendations

The Alsurra Model Sport Center is essential

part of implementation of Sport for All

Strategy in Kuwait. It represents good

practice in satisfying general public needs

and expectations, in the first place children,

youth and recreational sportsmen and

reasonable spending of public money.

If the Public Authority for Youth and Sports

and the management of the center, would

develop and introduce programs, which

would include women and disabled people,

the overall MPSI Evaluation would probably

be »Exceptionally sufficient fulfilment of

standards of sport and leisure infrastructure

investment and management«.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

and the management, should find the

solution with the planners and architects for

the future development of the infrastructure

introducing new »green« low energy

technologies. For more sustainable

infrastructure, the management will have to

prepare measures for reducing consuption

of natural resources and make water supply

system, energy supply system, traffic

system and other technological systems

more efficient.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

and the management will continue to

develop new innovative programs and

services in cooperation with experts and

consultants. These programs will have

impact on socio-economic development of

the City, the growth of Kuwaiti sport

industry and creation of new jobs.

The management must constantly improve

their professional skils and have permanent

professional training.

13.8. Recommendations

The Kazma Club Sport Center

is National event infrastructure. In the

future it will have to perform in line with its

status. The overall MPSI Evaluation will

have to improve and be better than

»Average sufficient fulfilment of standards

of sport and leisure infrastructure

investment and management«.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports,

the management, architects and civil

engineering agencies and firms, will have to

find efficient solutions for repair of the failed

structural-integrity of the building and finish

construction of the facilities.

For improvement of the sustainability of the

facility the management will have to

prepare measures for reducing consuption

of natural resources and make water supply

system, energy supply system, traffic

system and other technological systems

more efficient.

Present program of The Jabar Al-Ahmad

International Stadium has no (to small)

impact on socio-economic development of

Kuwait (City) and on the growth of Kuwaiti

sport industry and creation of new jobs.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

must invest financial sources in research

and development of new innovative

programs and services of the Stadium. The

management must improve efficiency and

provide conditions for implementation of the

programs.

The Public Authority for Youth and Sports

will have to evaluate effectiveness of

management, maintenance efficiency,

yearly costs of operations and maintenance

and accept the measures for management

improvement. Managers and professionals

must have permanent professional training.
