Real Madrid supports vulnerable children in Egypt

The social and cultural awareness programme of Spanish football club Real Madrid has teamed up with Plan to launch a school sporting academy in Egypt. The aim of the academy is to bolster children’s performance in school, reduce drop-out rates and promote children’s rights.

Four schools have been selected to participate in the project, which is expected to benefit more than 1,200 children, aged between 7 and 18.

The Real Madrid Foundation will train youth facilitators to work in the selected schools in Beheira, Assiut and Giza. FAME Academies, an Egyptian company that works to develop the football industry in Egypt, is co-funding the project for the next three years, and will provide the young people involved with sports and training equipment.
