NSC puts off sports dialogue

The national dialogue on improving the sports status in the country which was to be held this month has been postponed until further notice.

The National Sports Council (NSC) Secretary General, Leonard Thadeo, said yesterday that all important preparations were already done but the dialogue was postponed because some government officials who are the prime panellists were busy attending other important duties.

``We have already received all required reports from all regions but some government officials who are supposed to take part in the dialogue are busy, so we have decided to postpone it,`` added Thadeo.

However, Thadeo stressed the dialogue aim at highlighting all problems facing the sports sector in the country, including clubs, availability of sports gear as well as raising young talent.
