This renewal underscores the shared conviction that football transcends mere competition on the field, serving as a unifying force that can raise awareness of education-related concerns and encourage new generations to learn, aspire, and engage positively. By leveraging the extensive public reach of football, EAA Foundation and Al Sadd aim to highlight education as a basic right and a pathway to human development. Through this collaboration, the organisations intend to engage children and youth in activities that bridge sport and learning, fostering teamwork, discipline, resilience, and equal opportunity. Mohammed Saad Al Kubaisi, CEO of EAA Foundation, noted that renewing this collaboration signifies a crucial step in employing the power of sport to advance education and empower children and youth. He emphasized that sport, when integrated with education, becomes a potent tool to open new prospects for future generations. H.E. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Khalid Al Thani, CEO of Al Sadd Club Company, expressed pride in renewing this partnership, highlighting Al Sadd’s belief that football, beyond the pitch, carries a message that can inspire young people, promote positive values, and contribute to societal change. Both organisations are committed to expanding on past achievements and identifying new avenues that link education, sports, and community involvement. This renewal not only strengthens the visibility of education issues within the public domain but also presents children and youth with positive role models who can motivate them to continue their education and achieve their full potential. Through its global partnerships, EAA Foundation remains dedicated to improving access to quality education for vulnerable and marginalized communities, safeguarding the right to education, and garnering public support for education worldwide. The collaboration with Al Sadd Sports Club is a key component of this strategy, underscoring the significance of regional collaborations in raising awareness, broadening participation, and transforming sports into a catalyst for positive impact.",
