Applied Dimensions of Artificial Intelligence as an Approach to Enhancing the Efficiency of Sports Activities in Egyptian Sports Clubs

Abstract

This study aims to explore the key dimensions required for applying artificial intelligence (AI) as a strategic tool to enhance the efficiency of sports activities in Egyptian sports clubs. Specifically, it investigates the essential components for AI integration in sports management, examines the role of AI in advancing sports activities within clubs, and identifies the challenges that hinder effective implementation. The researcher adopted the descriptive method, targeting individuals responsible for managing sports activities across selected clubs. A random sample of 160 participants was selected, including directors and deputy directors of sports departments, sports supervisors, administrative managers, sports administrators, and coaches. Additionally, a pilot study was conducted with a separate group of 30 participants from outside the main sample. Key Findings: - Many clubs still lack the necessary technological infrastructure to support the optimal implementation of AI systems.- There is a significant skills gap among technical and administrative staff regarding digital competencies and the technical knowledge required to effectively utilize AI technologies. Key Recommendations:- Invest in upgrading and modernizing the technological infrastructure within sports clubs to enable the adoption of intelligent systems.- Develop and implement regular training programs to equip coaches and administrators with the skills needed to apply AI tools effectively in the sports context.
