Fatima Al-Banna, CEO of the BlueShirt platform—the national Kuwaiti project for sports intelligence, building a national sports knowledge base, and data-driven decision-making—expressed her deepest gratitude and appreciation to His Highness Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah, Prime Minister, and Dr. Tariq Al-Jalahma, Minister of State for Youth and Sports Affairs, for their strong support of youth and national initiatives, their commitment to fostering an innovation-enabling environment, empowering national talent, and strengthening partnerships between the public sector and national initiatives that contribute to sustainable development.

Al-Banna emphasized that the BlueShirt platform was launched in line with this national approach, serving as a project aimed at building a national sports knowledge base and developing a modern sports system that relies on data and artificial intelligence to support decision-making and elevate Kuwaiti sports.

In this context, Al-Banna stressed that signing the cooperation agreement with the General Authority for Youth and Sports, represented by its Director General Bashar Abdullah, marks a pivotal milestone in the platform’s journey and a strategic step toward enhancing digital transformation in the sports sector and consolidating the concept of data-driven institutional work, in line with Kuwait’s aspirations to build a knowledge-based economy and society.

She added that the signing ceremony was followed by a joint meeting during which the terms and implementation mechanisms of the agreement were discussed, alongside outlining areas of cooperation between the two parties in the coming phase, to achieve shared strategic objectives in documenting sports data, developing knowledge bases, improving the quality of sports information, and providing accurate and reliable data to serve athletes, sports institutions, researchers, and decision-makers.
