中华时报/中华新闻网/中华新闻通讯社（赵雪湄）“奥林匹克关乎希望，我们可以为更和平的社会贡献力量。”约旦王子费萨尔·阿尔·侯赛因（HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein）表示。他正在竞选国际奥委会（IOC）主席，提出通过体育促进团结与和平，推动奥林匹克运动走向更加公平与包容的未来。
费萨尔亲王现年61岁，是约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世的弟弟。他拥有布朗大学电子工程学士和伦敦商学院管理学硕士学位，曾服役于约旦皇家空军，官至空军司令。这位战机飞行员转型为体育领袖，长期担任国际奥委会执委和约旦奥委会主席，并于2007年创办“世代和平组织”，通过体育、艺术和对话帮助冲突地区重建和平。
“竞选国际奥委会主席，是服务精神的自然延续。”费萨尔亲王表示，他来自一个以“服务国家与社会”为信条的家庭，父亲常教导他：“如果你能带来改变，就有责任去尝试。”正是这种责任感，促使他在20年的体育治理经验基础上，迈出竞选IOC主席的步伐。
费萨尔亲王提出的竞选主张以和平、包容、公平为核心。他承诺推动重启“奥林匹克休战”，倡导体育超越政治分歧，成为冲突地区和平的象征。他强调，IOC应加强廉洁治理，提升透明度与问责制，确保奥林匹克运动保持公正与公平。
他特别关注性别平等和跨性别运动员问题。他指出，奥运会已实现男女参赛人数平衡，接下来应在体育治理层面实现更多女性参与。对于跨性别运动员，他坚持以科学为依据，确保安全和公平，“如若存在不公平优势，应如同反兴奋剂一般严格对待”。
费萨尔亲王还主张推进奥运会“区域轮办”机制，让更多发展中地区有机会申办奥运会，进一步推动奥林匹克的全球化和包容性发展。他表示，体育不应只属于特定地区或群体，而应是“全球共享的希望与梦想”。
相比其他候选人，费萨尔亲王强调自身军人背景与和平建设者的双重身份，使他在处理复杂国际事务和促进多元文化对话方面具备独特优势。他相信，体育是跨越文化与意识形态分歧的桥梁。
“我的目标是赢得选举，但不论结果如何，我都将继续为奥林匹克运动服务。”费萨尔亲王说。他希望，奥林匹克不仅是一场竞技盛会，更是一种希望和信任的象征，引领世界走向和平与团结。
（By May Zhao）“The Olympic Movement is about hope. Together, we can contribute to building a more peaceful society,” said HRH Prince Feisal Al Hussein of Jordan during his announcement in Lausanne. As a candidate for the presidency of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), he has pledged to promote unity and peace through sport and to lead the Olympic Movement towards a more inclusive and equitable future.
Prince Feisal, 61, is the younger brother of King Abdullah II of Jordan. He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Brown University and a master’s degree in management from the London Business School. A former commander in the Royal Jordanian Air Force, he transitioned from fighter pilot to sports leader. For years, he has served as an IOC Executive Board Member and as President of the Jordan Olympic Committee. In 2007, he founded Generations For Peace, an organization that fosters peacebuilding in conflict zones through sport, arts, and dialogue.
“Running for IOC President is a natural extension of my lifelong commitment to service,” Prince Feisal stated. Coming from a family devoted to serving the nation and society, he recalls his father’s words: “If you have the ability to make a difference, you have the responsibility to try.” It is this sense of duty, combined with his two decades of experience in sports governance, that has propelled him to pursue the IOC’s top role.
At the core of Prince Feisal’s candidacy are the values of peace, inclusivity, and fairness. He has pledged to revive the Olympic Truce, championing sport as a force that transcends political divisions and serves as a symbol of peace in regions affected by conflict. He emphasized the need for the IOC to enhance integrity, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that the Olympic Movement remains fair and just.
Gender equality and the inclusion of transgender athletes are also central to his platform. Prince Feisal highlighted the historic achievement of gender parity among Olympic athletes and stressed the need to expand women’s representation in sports leadership. Regarding transgender athletes, he called for a science-based approach that prioritizes safety and fairness, stating, “If there is an unfair advantage, it should be addressed with the same rigor as doping violations.”
Prince Feisal further advocates for a regional hosting model for the Olympic Games, offering more opportunities for developing nations to host and advancing the globalization and inclusivity of the Olympic Movement. “Sport should not belong to any one region or group; it should be a shared hope and dream for the entire world,” he said.
In contrast to other candidates, Prince Feisal underscores his dual identity as a military officer and a peacebuilder, giving him a unique advantage in navigating complex international issues and fostering intercultural dialogue. He believes sport is a bridge that can overcome cultural and ideological divides.
“My goal is to win this election, but no matter the outcome, I will continue to serve the Olympic Movement,” Prince Feisal affirmed. He hopes the Olympics will not only remain the pinnacle of athletic competition but also serve as a symbol of hope and trust, guiding the world toward peace and unity.
