EAA and its partners initiated the organisation of the festival, which was facilitated by 50 Al Fakhoora students (Qatar Scholarship programme) who helped staff six activity stations for the participating children, including sports games, storytelling, a cinema bus and scouting games. The highlight of the day was the football match between Al Fakhoora students’ top football players and the Stars of Gaza, made up of some of the best players from teams across Gaza. #Football4Gaza’s closing ceremony included video contributions from beIN Sports Commentator, Hafid Derradji, and former Palestinian National Football Team players Mustafa Nijm and Ramzi Saleh. In addition, Qatar Legacy Ambassadors Ali Al Habsi, Mohammed Saadoun Al Kuwari, Younis Mahmood and Khalid Salman recorded video messages in support of the children and youth in Gaza, praising their resilience, determination and will power.
