CEO of Ora Developers Haitham Mohamed commented, "We're very excited to be bringing some of the best football clubs in the world to compete in Egypt for the first time, especially when we're focusing on the youth who have so much talent to offer.”
He said that this is a historical moment in Egypt, expressing their delight to be kicking off the first edition of the tournament at the company's new ZED Park, giving the public a chance to discover what they are offering, including the fully equipped sports complex, adding that “this is only the beginning, and we're looking forward to many more events at ZED Park."
