The event was covered by Egyptian public television as well as several private televisions (al-Hayat, Mehwar, and Nahar) Meals, juices, and water bottles were distributed to people on board.

We tried to relieve their suffering and to provide a joyous atmosphere for them. The buses headed to Sharm el-Sheikh carrying the smiles of the children under extra security measures taken by Egyptian police to secure the convoy on its way from Cairo to Sharm el-Sheikh.

The journey was indeed fun and safe. Police opened the way before the buses during the trip that lasted for 8 hours with several stops to comfort the children and meet their needs.

The SATUC team headed by Sheikha Sheikha Al Thani was keen to talk with the children on the buses to motivate them to do their best in the tournament. She told them that there are some orphaned children who seized the opportunity and joined big teams like Hadi Nabil and Mohamed Isaac who joined the Wadi Degla team through their participation at the SATUC tournament in Cairo. The buses arrived at the city of Sharm el-Sheikh in the evening and stopped by the Hilton Sharks Bay hotel which was getting ready to receive the children for a big celebration. The children left the buses to enjoy the welcome ceremony of the hotel dedicated to them after their long trip from Cairo to Sharm el-Sheikh.

After the ceremony, the children checked in and got some rest before they headed to the restaurant and had dinner in the hotel that tried to provide all means of comfort for children. They went to sleep after eating dinner in order to prepare for the tournament the next day. The SATUC team headed by Sheikha Al Thani made sure everything is fine and the children were happy. On December 30, the city of peace received the Liberian football player George Weah who was named 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year. He is also an ambassador of SATUC. He received a warm welcome from Sheikha Sheikha Al-Thani, President of SATUC, as well as officials of the South Sinai Governorate and Tourism Promotion Authority. He wandered about Sharm el-Sheikh and took several photos with the people.

The Liberian football star went from one place to another with his attendant in the city of Sharm el-Sheikh since he had heard much about it before he accepts the invitation of Sheikha al-Thani. On the same day, the Guinean athlete Pascal Feindouno who became a professional football player at French and Swiss clubs arrived as an ambassador for the tournament to support the children. He really made the day for those children and promised to attend all tournaments of the orphans. The first ambassador of Egypt to arrive on that day was Hany Ramzy, the Egyptian football coach, and former defender who played as a professional football player in Germany for 15 years. He came in order to participate in this charity event and support orphans. He was welcomed by Sheikha Sheikha Al-Thani at the hotel.
