H.E. Dr. Thong Khon, Senior Minister and President of the
National Olympic Committee of Cambodia (NOCC), considered the sports
administration course as an important basis for leading and managing the sports
organizations with transparency, integrity, good governance and good leadership
to ensure the effectiveness of sports work and the development of each
specialized sport sector to achieve equal competitiveness at the regional,
continental and global levels in the future.
This was highlighted at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Solidarity
Course on Sports Administration after a 4-day study process from September
15-18, 2025 at the headquarters of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia.
The course was attended by 56 participants, most of whom were officials from
the national sport federations, under the sponsorship of the Olympic Solidarity
Organization and taught by many instructors with many years of knowledge and
experience, including H.E. Vath Chamroeun, Secretary General of the NOCC and H.E.
Noy Phana, etc.
H.E. Dr. Senior Minister said that, the participants in this
course also understood about the principles of good governance of the Olympic
Movement, which are key principles that all members of the Olympic Movement,
including national sport federations, must implement consistently to ensure
compliance with the Olympic Charter. The Sports Administration must study and
clearly understand the regulations of national sports administration and
international sport administration. This means that Cambodia has a national
sports policy, a national sports strategy and development policy, which are the
policy guidelines for the development of the national sports sector. However,
all practices must be comprehensively examined and consistent, in accordance
with the fundamental principles of international sports and the International
Olympic Charter, so that sports can develop sustainably.
H.E. Dr. Thong Khon continued that, “This course has
provided new and good knowledge in sports administration, sports techniques,
sports science and sports theory, which can be used by the participants to
serve in the national sports federation effectively. But the important factor
is to apply the results of the professional knowledge from the study correctly
and continue to share it with your sports family more so that you can provide
positive results and get concrete results in building and developing professional
sports in the national sport federations.
At the same time, the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia
also plans to organize the first advanced sports management course this year,
which is the second level course for senior officials and sports leaders to
further strengthen their abilities and knowledge in managing their sports
institutions effectively and efficiently, in accordance with the leadership
principles of the Olympic Movement. Therefore, His Excellency Dr. called on the
participants who have completed the sports administration course now, as well
as sports leaders, to continue to attend this advanced sports management
course.
Please note that, after the 4-day study process, 40
participants received very good grades, equivalent to 71%, 7 good grades,
equivalent to 13%, and 9 average grades, equivalent to 16%.
