Generation Amazing and the Qatar Football Association (QFA) have partnered with Aurora for Training and Development to create One Goal Arabia – a youth development programme that will work with young footballers aged 16-17 to empower them with the skills necessary to use their position as role models to inspire others.
To celebrate the upcoming FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021, One Goal Arabia will collaborate with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and Confederation of African Football (CAF) to develop a network of Arab youth players committed to driving social change through football for good activities.
Supported by leading educators in the sport for development sector, the project will consist of five programme areas, each designed to engage stakeholders in positive youth development with the purpose of encouraging non-competitive collaboration for social impact and prosperity. Upon completion, players will be encouraged to work with their associations and local organisations to share the value of football for development with their peers.
“We are very happy to be a part of this important and meaningful initiative, which is a critical milestone for empowering our youth and supporting their growth,” said Mansoor Al Ansari, QFA Secretary General.
“The Arab Cup is not only an opportunity to unite our national teams and fans, but it is also our duty to leave a positive footprint for the leaders of tomorrow through such programmes,” he added.
One Goal Arabia is born out of Generation Amazing and Aurora’s long-term commitment to the development of educational programmes to support strategic alliances for youth development and empowerment through sport.
“We are very proud to partner with the QFA and Aurora for Training and Development to launch One Goal Arabia, which will celebrate Arab unity and culture through our youth exchange capacity building programme,” said Nasser Al Khori, Generation Amazing Programmes Director.
“By creating strong strategic alliances and working in close collaboration with the AFC and CAF we are creating a network that helps to empower and engage youth through the inspiring power of football ahead of the upcoming FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar.”
