Doha, Qatar: The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) was recognised for its commitment to social programmes at the Qatar CSR Summit. The Generation Amazing Foundation and Tamreen were awarded for their work in relation to leveraging the legacy of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Launched as part of the bid to host Qatar 2022, Generation Amazing utilises football for development programmes to empower youth from marginalised communities around the world. Initiatives include community clubs, building football pitches and running training programmes to instil key life skills.
Generation Amazing has engaged people in 75 countries and had a positive impact on more than 1 million people.
Tamreen is a joint initiative between the SC, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, and Qatar Foundation. Launched in 2019, the online platform offers educational resources to support students aged 8-18 in core curriculum areas. Tamreen covers a range of Qatar 2022 topics, including stadium designs and accessibility. The toolkits, lesson plans and activity sheets are available to teachers worldwide.
“The legacy of Qatar 2022 continues to be felt across the country and around the world. Programmes like Generation Amazing and Tamreen embody our commitment to deliver a tournament that supports human, social and sustainability objectives, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030,” said Khalid Al Naama, Community Engagement & Commercial Development Executive Director, SC.
“It is great to see these programmes recognised by the Qatar CSR Summit. Their success is driven by support from the community and stakeholders, and we look forward to building on these foundations in future,” added Al Naama.
Generation Amazing and Tamreen will continue to leverage the unprecedented success of Qatar 2022, as the legacy of the tournament pays dividends across Qatar, the Middle East and globally.
Nasser Al Khori, Executive Director, Generation Amazing Foundation, said:“We are honoured to receive the prestigious Qatar CSR Award this year, in recognition of the Generation Amazing Foundation's commitment to using football as a catalyst for positive change and its role as the human and social legacy initiative of Qatar 2022.
