As a result, 200 girls were registered in less than 24 hours in the football activity.

The Organizing Committee pointed out that the Al Ain Club’s organization of the summer camp for girls, which is scheduled to be held in two phases during July and August, stems from the tremendous responsibility towards all members of society and a commitment to the club’s vision and mission.

The Camp Organizing Committee commended the club’s keenness for adopting initiatives that support community service, through which it continued to embody the comprehensive concept of the club, which is not limited to sports activities only.

The Camp Organizing Committee hailed the efforts of PLC staff and its constant keenness to support sports initiatives through the active participation of clubs in all these development initiatives, especially those related to improving services dedicated to serving the community.

The Committee confirmed during the statement published on the official website of the Al Ain Sports and Cultural Club that the remarkable participation of society members and parents upon the announcement of launching the registration in the camp who rushed to enroll their daughters enhances the responsibility of the Organizing Committee.

“We must praise here the efforts of the club, which they have been exerting through following up the procedures to ensure implementing the security and safety of participants and abide by child welfare laws.

The Committee pointed out: “Due to the remarkable turnout, and the completion of the specified number of participations, it was decided to close the registration door in the first phase, which will take place during 4-17 July. However, registration is still open for participation for the second phase, which is scheduled for August 2022.”

They added: “The camp programs are stimulating to play football, and provide the opportunity to participate in sports activities that depend on movement for girls in the Al Ain City under the supervision of specialized football coaches, under the supervision of the medical staff and the Child Care Unit of the club.”

 

In her turn, Nawal Al Hajri, a player for Al Ain Football Club and UAE Women’s National Team player, expressed her happiness and pride in participating in the camp as an assistant coach.

She stressed: “Being a football player contributed to building her self-confidence, which led her to enhance her leadership skills and consolidate the concept of teamwork spirit.”

She added: “during my childhood, I wished to have such opportunities that allow girls to develop their capacities and practice their hobbies in an ideal and stimulating atmosphere to shape their future in football. Moreover, as a player in the UAE National Team, my responsibility is great in the camp, as some view me as a role model. Therefore, I will seek to harness my experience to help the girls.”

Sarah Al Hana’i, a player for the Al Ain Women’s Football Team, said, “I would like to thank Al Ain Club for allowing me to participate in the camp not only to help the girls but also to work with them side by side.

She concluded he statement by saying: “It is not a secret to say that I cannot wait to participate in the camp as football turns out to be more than just a game. Practicing sports contributes to improving the general health of the community and encouraging children and their families to practice healthy and positive habits.”
