The Head of the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition said on Sunday that the Free Syrian Army was to be restructured.
Hadi al Bahra was in the United Arab Emirates seeking support for the group's war-battered rebel fighters.
He met with the UAE's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash.
Bahra said the restructuring of the Free Syrian Army will "by itself will improve their activities and it will improve the results they are achieving on the ground."
The Free Syrian Army has been marred by defections and divisions.
Its fighters are engaged in a two-front war against Islamic State fighters and Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces.
The UAE has expressed its willingness to join an international coalition against the Islamic State group.
U.S. officials said last week that Saudi Arabia would help train moderate Syrian rebels at Saudi bases.
It remains unclear how the Syrian opposition movement intends to carry out its new plan, but Bahri vowed the group is committed to toppling Assad's regime and expelling foreign militants from Syria.
