Qatar Charity (QC) is participating in the Street Child World Cup 2022 with the Sudan and Bosnia and Herzegovina teams within its Rofaqa initiative and the framework of the Sports for Development and Peace programme in co-operation and partnership with Qatar Fund for Development and Street Child United.
The Street Child World Cup 2022, an event held in partnership with Qatar Foundation (QF), kicked off at Education City on Saturday to give street-connected children a voice for change.
Sudan and Bosnia are in the first group along with other teams.

The Sudanese and Bosnian teams have made qualitative contributions to events accompanying the tournament, which included an arts festival, where they painted the flag of their countries in an artistic and humanitarian atmosphere. They also helped prepared a conference to advocate for children's rights and support young people who face harsh social conditions.
The two teams are scheduled to visit Al Salam School 2 and visit Qatar Charity's headquarters.
The captain of the Sudan team, Adnan Abdel Hakim, said they are participating with a group of orphaned children sponsored by QC in Sudan, and explained that they have received training and are confident of winning and achieving honourable results in the event.
Adnan noted that the event is not just a football game, but rather a sports and humanitarian event, where there are spaces for free expression through culture, arts and conferences, all of which serve to achieve the goal of the tournament of mobilising support and advocacy for children's rights.
The director of Qatar Charity's office in Sudan, Hassan Odeh, confirmed that the Rofaqa team from Sudan is fully prepared and ready for the Street Child World Cup 2022, and he expected good results due to a series of training and preparatory matches in which the team participated.
The captain of the Bosnian team, Mirza Ibrahimpasic, said: "We are happy to participate in this tournament, and hope to be able to cross to the second stage with the teams of Sudan and Qatar. Our preparations and training started in Bosnia in a sports camp, and although we are from different cities, we have accepted the challenge and hope to reach the end."
For his part, Samer Ghaith, director of the Bosnian team, explained that this event is one of the most important activities that directly affect the lives of any orphan, adding that the children of the Bosnian team, who come from low-income backgrounds or poor and deprived families, did not dream of getting the opportunity to represent Bosnia.
He added, "We at Qatar Charity have provided them with full support to help them reach a level of participation in such a great event. We wish them victory and success."
