Doha: Khalil Ibrahim Al-Jabir, Executive Director of the Qatar Olympic Academy and former President of the Qatar Swimming Association (QSA), has been elected as a Bureau Member of World Aquatics for the 2025–2029 term.

The announcement came during the World Aquatics General Congress held on the sidelines of the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. Al-Jabir, a leading figure in Qatari and Asian aquatic sports, previously served as QSA president from 2008 to 2024.

His longstanding service to the sport includes being first elected to World Aquatics in 2017, followed by a key role in 2021 when he was selected at the Doha General Assembly as one of the members representing host nations of the World Championships.

His re-election this year is another milestone in a distinguished career dedicated to advancing aquatic sports on a global scale.

In addition to his World Aquatics responsibilities, Al-Jabir also holds the position of Vice President of the Asian Aquatics Federation for the 2024–2029 term, a role he secured during the 2024 general assembly in Bangkok, Thailand.
