Under the patronage of Egypt’s Ministries of Youth and Sports and Environment, the second edition of the Regional Sustainable Development Forum (RSD) recently concluded in Cairo.

Organized by Aspire Community Transformation, affiliated with Aspire Consulting International, and hosted at Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development, the forum served as a regional platform that highlighted
transformative initiatives contributing to sustainable development across the Middle East
and North Africa.

This year’s edition placed special emphasis on the regional recognition of the Generation Amazing Foundation’s pioneering work in sport for development.
During a special ceremony on the sidelines of the forum, a number of institutions and
leaders were recognized for their impactful contributions to sustainable development.
Among them, Generation Amazing Foundation (Qatar) received the Excellence in Sports
Award in recognition of its longstanding contributions to social transformation through
sport.

The forum’s recognition underscored the continued relevance and regional impact of the
FIFA World Cup Qatar’s legacy and positioned Generation Amazing Foundation as a model
for scalable, community-centered development.

Nasser Al Khori, Executive Director of Generation Amazing Foundation, expressed gratitude
for the honor, stating: “We were deeply proud to receive this award, which reaffirmed the
enduring legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and the power of sport to bring
meaningful change to communities.

This recognition at a regional platform strengthened our commitment to expand our programmes, deepen our partnerships, and ensure that young people across the region continued to benefit from safe, inclusive, and
transformative sport-for-development opportunities.”
