During the seminar crucial aspects of the AC including its formation, membership and election were briefed to the athletes by the Olympians Aminath Shajan, Hassan Saaid and Ibrahim Mubal. The information conveyed during the seminar was compiled by a group of the Olympians. Upon the formation of the Commission, it will be represented by 5 members (2 Olympians, and 3 athletes belonging to an Olympic sport). The 5 members will be elected for a term of 4 years (2021-2025).
