This was already done, as he played a match with some media stars who covered the tournament. The match lasted for about 45 minutes, during which the world champion, George Weah, manifested his talent in playing, while children, who didn’t watch Weah playing before, greeted him with loud applause. After the match that Weah and the media stars played, the children returned to the hotel.
The media stars, Weah, and the ambassadors also returned to their residence place to get ready for the press conference to announce the state to host the 2017 world cup.
On the fourth and final day of the tournament, the children woke up at 7.30 a.m. and ate their breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

After the final match between the Red Sea and South Sinai, it was time for the match played by the stars and ambassadors and some media stars.
