Morocco was recently elected as chair of the executive committee of the Arab Sports Union.

The election was held during the third general assembly of the union, held last weekend on the fringes of the 12th Arab School Games, currently being held in Morocco.

Twelve Arab countries are taking part in the games to wind up on Wendesday. The games feature competitions in soccer, athletics and basketball.

Besides the renewal of its managerial board, the Arab Sports Union adopted a number of recommendations for the promotion of Arab school sports and approved holding the next Arab School Basketball Championships in Alexandria, Egypt.

The union also okayed the creation of a prize rewarding Arab schools that make outstanding efforts in physical training and sports.
