In a warm and extended conversation at the Conference, Sheikha told the superstar Striker Nuno Gomes about the success of the 2015 SATUC World Cup in Egypt, and of her hopes for his support in facilitating Portugal team involvement in the 3rd edition of the SATUC World Cup international charity football spectacular.

Sheikha also took the opportunity to spread the word about SATUC, and to share experiences with others who, like herself, are acutely concerned about the injustice that far too many of the world’s children have to face every day of their lives.! “I have a lot to learn from people like Nuno Gomes who attend the 2018 SATUC World Cup Sofia and support these children around the world, such wonderful work from Nuno.

The tournament, which was won by a team of boys from Nigeria, won widespread praise in local and international media for providing priceless opportunities to children from as far afield as Nigeria, Peru, Palestine, Bosnia, Cambodia, Syria, Iraq, Mexico, Cameroon, Indonesia, Morocco and Liberia to travel and compete in a spirit of fun and friendship. The seven-day event was from 11 Aug till 17 Aug, supported by the Bulgarian football union and Bulgarian government, most of whom had never left their home city, to travel abroad for the first time and to experience the pride and passion of international competition. With an exceptionally high standard of skill and effort on display, the tournament was praised by international soccer stars for its exceptionally high standard of sportsmanship and endeavour.

The SATUC Cup is a new biennial international football competition for disadvantaged young people. Teams of 14 and 15-year-old boys from different nations will compete in an inspirational new five-side football tournament in Cairo at the end of August. There were representatives from Bulgaria, Nigeria, Peru, Bosnia, Cambodia, Mexico, Cameroon, Indonesia, Morocco and Liberia and a team of refugees from Syria who have, tragically, been orphaned during the civil war. The event was worth it for SATUC children around the world, which was attended by VIPs from the world of diplomacy, charity, football and music. The third edition of the SATUC World Cup tournament is expected to be on a much larger scale, involving teams of children from 12 nations. Other than the SATUC World Cup, SATUC Foundation has several other projects that they are working on such as the SATUC Education City. This project will be built in Cairo and the Aim of it is to combine sports with education, or in other words, to give more opportunities to orphans to plan a life in which they can achieve great things and open whichever door they work towards. The charity will work on it so that it will be a place where education is something loved not forced and that the children will want to work and change
