Qatari Nada Mohammed Wafa Elected to Islamic Solidarity Athletes Committee

Riyadh – Qatar’s Nada Mohammed Wafa has been elected as a member of the Athletes Committee of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation (ISSF), following elections held on Thursday on the sidelines of the sixth edition of the Islamic Solidarity Games, hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Wafa’s election marks another milestone in Qatar’s growing presence within continental and international sports bodies. It reflects the trust placed by the Islamic sports community in young Qatari talent and its ability to represent athletes’ interests and contribute to the advancement of sports governance across member nations.

A prominent Qatari athlete, Nada Mohammed Wafa has represented Qatar at several regional and international events, most notably in swimming competitions at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the 2019 FINA World Championships in South Korea.

Speaking after her election, Wafa expressed her pride in representing Qatar on the ISSF Athletes Committee, saying:
“I am deeply honored by this achievement, which I see as both a great responsibility and a valuable opportunity to serve athletes from all member countries and to contribute to the development of policies and programs that support their sporting journey. I extend my sincere gratitude to the Qatar Olympic Committee for its continuous support for athletes and for empowering them to represent our country across international sports institutions.”

Through her new role, Wafa is expected to help share the experience of Qatari athletes within the broader Islamic sports community, while also contributing to initiatives and programs designed to enhance athlete welfare across member states. Her appointment aligns with the Qatar Olympic Committee’s vision of strengthening Qatari representation in international sports organizations and promoting active participation in global sports development.
