Following the success of previous Emir Cups’ Trophy Tours, school children of Al Hikma International Kindergarten and Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Kindergarten for Boys were invited today to be part of the first stop of the Emir Cup Trophy Tour.

The Qatar Football Association (QFA) delegation received a warm welcome from the school children who displayed different dance performances and shows to express their enthusiasm for the tournament.
Nahida al-Zaghlool, Physical Education teacher in Al Hikma International Kindergarten commented: “We thank the QFA for organising the Emir Cup Trophy Tour and making a stop in Al Hikma International Kindergarten to allow the children to participate in the biggest football event in Qatar.”
Najwa al-Yazeedi, vice principal of Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Kindergarten for Boys said: “We are honoured to welcome the Emir Cup Trophy in our school today and extend our gratitude to the QFA for all their efforts in involving all segments of the communities in this important tournament. We are proud to be part of this historic moment and wish to take part in next year’s trophy tour.”   
Not only did the students have a chance to hold the prestigious trophy, they also had the opportunity to take memorable pictures with it.
The tour also included gift distribution and a briefing session about the tournament and football in general. The students were invited to attend the matches and take part in the different community events which QFA is organising in the lead up to the final match. The final match is set to take place on May 20 in Jassim Bin Hamad (Al Sadd Stadium).
The trophy tour is scheduled to make stops at various schools in Doha in the upcoming days to allow as many schools to take part in the Emir Cup.
