  • Generation Amazing Youth Festival 2022 a resounding success

    More than 300 young people learn key life skills on sidelines of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ The Generation Amazing Foundation, a FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ social and human legacy initiative, has successfully concluded its fourth annual youth festival and the second phase of its Goal 22 international school-exchange programme. The Generation Amazing Youth Festival 2022 served as the in-person phase of the year-long Goal 22 project and brought together more than 300 international students in Doha to teach them football for development practices that emphasise and advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through workshops and activities, exploring topics such as sports diplomacy, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, leadership, mental health and more. Goal 22 began in October with virtual sessions and will continue in 2023. The youth involved represented each of the 32 competing nations at Qatar 2022 and will be tasked with sharing the knowledge gained in their schools and communities. The festival kicked off on 17 November with a celebration of Generation Amazing positively impacting 1 million people across the globe and becoming a foundation. Special remarks were made to more than 600 guests by H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General, Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy, and Chairman, Generation Amazing Foundation; Gianni Infantino, FIFA President; Nasser Al Khori, Executive Director, Generation Amazing; David Beckham, Generation Amazing Ambassador; and Ryan Reynolds, Hollywood actor and co-owner of Wrexham FC. The keynote was given by Syrian-American composer, Malek Jandali, founder of ‘Pianos for Peace’. It featured the premiere of sports docuseries ‘Chasing Dreams’ – which was supported by Generation Amazing – and a surprise performance from The Triplets Ghetto Kids. “Our aim is to help people develop crucial global citizenship skills while supporting capacity building through the power of football,” said Al Khori. “We want to offer much more than technical support to bring about social change to disadvantaged and marginalised communities.” “This requires educational and theoretical understanding in addition to cultural awareness and exposure that is best gained through peer-to-peer interaction, and we’re very proud to provide that in an unprecedent way, adding and contributing to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 legacy through our Goal 22 programme,” added Al Khori. “The Generation Amazing Youth Festival, in particular, provides an opportunity for many young adults, and even their educators and our invited delivery facilitators, to be introduced to innovative sport for development frameworks, gain insight into their opportunities and challenges, and learn about new perspectives and cultures while expanding their own potential. “We developed the Goal 22 programme so that participants gain exposure that is tangible and expansive outside what can be attained on the pitch or in a classroom, while establishing and reinforcing the universal values adopted by the United Nations, such as fair play, living together, enhancing understanding between peoples and cultures, and promoting the values of tolerance and respect.” Since 2019, Generation Amazing has hosted its youth festival on the sidelines of major sporting events, such as the FIFA Club World Cup™ and FIFA Arab Cup™. This year’s festival included workshops and panels that were organised and facilitated by more than 30 partner organisations. These included discussions on women in sport, creating positive impact through sport, sustainability, climate change and inclusive leadership through sport, among others. As part of the festival programme, youth participated in an inclusive football activation called the ‘All-In Tournament’ – a mini World Cup – and had the opportunity to celebrate cross-cultural interaction and diversity at the closing cultural ceremony. In addition to local and international musical acts and performances, students performed their own pieces to showcase their cultures and traditions. The ceremony included remarks from Salah Khaled, Director of the UNESCO Office for the Arab States of the Gulf and Yemen, a strategic partner of the festival. Khaled said: “Thanks to Generation Amazing, young leaders have been able to take part in this innovative ecosystem to promote social change, healthy lifestyles and sport for all. These initiatives are of paramount importance as they create space for dialogue while fostering youth action and ensuring recognition of young voices and projects. “UNESCO is honoured to partner with Generation Amazing in this festival, that embodies social responsibility by supporting youth in fighting inequality, contributing to sustainable development and building peace. I am proud to see that what we do together today will contribute to shaping peaceful, just and sustainable futures tomorrow. I am delighted to see how youth celebrate the power of sport in a changing world.” During the tournament, participants had the opportunity to engage in dialogue with Beckham and various FIFA World Cup Ambassadors and stars, including Younis Mahmoud, Nadia Nadim, Honey Thaljieh, Ali Al Habsi, Javier Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Mohammed Saadon Al Kuwari. Guests were also treated to Qatar 2022 match tickets, facilitated by the Generation Amazing Foundation. On the last day of the festival, officials and delegates from Qatar, Canada, Mexico and the US attended to observe and participate in an inclusive football activation aimed to recognise the success of the festival and share knowledge about key learnings with the next hosts of the FIFA World Cup™.

  • The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is an achievement for the entire Arab world’

    Qatar Legacy Ambassadors see the tournament as a watershed moment for the region The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is in full swing and fans across the globe are enjoying a festival of football at eight state-of-the-art stadiums. For Qatar Legacy Ambassadors Ahmad Khalil, Ibrahim Khalfan and Adel Khamis, the tournament is proving a huge success for the entire Middle East and Arab world. “Everyone who has made their way to Qatar has been amazed by this once-in-a-lifetime festival. From beautiful stadiums to wonderful cultural experiences, fans are able to immerse themselves in our signature hospitality and enjoy world-class football,” said Khamis, a former attacking midfielder for the Qatar national team. Many of the incredible venues showcase local culture, including the magnificent Al Bayt Stadium, with its structure inspired by the tents used by nomadic peoples. “The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is an achievement for the entire Arab world. It gives us the opportunity to celebrate our culture, while showing off our football pedigree. For far too long, this region has been stereotyped without us having the opportunity to show the world that we are talented, determined and peace-loving people. This World Cup has given the opportunity to change all that,” said Khalfan, considered to be one of Qatar’s greatest wingers of all time. A total of four Arab teams are taking part in the tournament, with hosts Qatar competing in a World Cup for the first time. The Maroons were drawn in Group A alongside the Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal. And although they were knocked out in the group stage, Khalil sees the tournament as an important milestone for local football. “Even though Qatar’s results were not what we hoped for, the World Cup will be yet another milestone for the sport’s growth in the country. It will be a memorable experience that will motivate a new generation of players to play on the biggest football stage in the world. Qatar’s footballing future is bright – and this tournament will be a huge catalyst for further success,” said Khalil, who led Qatar to the Arabian Gulf Cup in 1992. He added: “What we have achieved goes beyond football. It’s an achievement that brought together our talent and determination, and embodies our vision to build a modern nation that celebrates humanity and excellence.” Fans interested in attending Qatar 2022 should click here for the latest tickets, accommodation and Hayya Card information.

  • Football fans on epic ‘Electric Car to Qatar’ trip, supported by MG

    9 November 2022, Doha-Qatar. A four-man team of Welsh football supporters is undertaking an epic, 5,000-mile journey across Europe and Middle East in an MG electric vehicle, as they make their way to Qatar for the highlight of the global footballing calendar. Having set off from Wales on Tuesday 25th October, the four electric car enthusiasts are currently travelling through Europe, and are expected to arrive in Amman, Jordan on 12th November. The team will be travelling through Jordan and Saudi Arabia, experiencing the rich culture that the region has to offer, with plans to visit iconic sites such as Wadi Rum, Al Ula, and Hofuf as well as the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh along the way. The team will be visiting MG car dealerships on their trip, who will provide crucial charging facilities for their new MG4 Electric model, as well as a chance for the team to connect with like-minded enthusiasts. Just 22 days after setting off the team are expected to arrive in Qatar on November 18th - in time for Wales’ first group game against USA on November 21st. Driver Nick Smith explained the thinking behind this unique journey: “Our love of football, a thirst for adventure and the desire to raise awareness of sustainable issues are all behind this exciting trip. We’ll also be dispelling some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding electric cars. We’re passionate about the positive change that electric cars can bring. They’re an important part of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing CO2 emissions and improving the air quality of our towns and cities.” The central sustainability message of the trip is that electric cars are viable alternatives to petrol and diesel, even in the most challenging circumstances. The MG electric vehicle is capable of approximately 281 miles (451 kilometres) on a single charge and can charge in just under nine hours from a standard home charger. With rapid charging, the car can go from 10% to 80% in just 35 minutes!
