NOC; Tehran: During the meeting, Commission Chair Ms. Mehrafza Manouchehri
reported on recent sessions regarding global environmental guidelines in
sports. It was determined that the fourth expert meeting will be held in
October, coinciding with Physical Education Week at the National Olympic
Academy. The commission plans to facilitate this event in close cooperation
with several federations, including Lifesaving, Sports for All, and Equestrian.
The commission also prioritized cultural preservation by initiating the
transfer of two historical statues from the 12000-seat Azadi Stadium complex to
the National Olympic Committee Museum.
Furthermore,
a comprehensive environmental charter—aligned with International Olympic
Committee (IOC) mandates—will be developed to promote sustainable practices
across all federations, in coordination with the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Finally,
members approved a proposal to integrate environmental management topics into
the advanced “Solidarity” sports course. This initiative has been submitted to
the Secretary-General of the National Olympic Committee for formal approval and
implementation.
