FIFA GRANT APPLICATION
The Association of Upper Egypt for Education and Development (AUEED) has applied for a $250,000.00 grant from the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA, or International Federation of Association Football) to build or upgrade soccer fields in 10 of its schools.
The purpose of the grant is to use soccer as a means to devloping the educational and athletic standards of studetns through sports. It also aims at building a community partnership through the involvement of parents and the participattion in various soccer tournaments in local communities and beyond.
The AAUE has agreed in principle to be the sponsor for the grant which requires a 501(c)(3) organization in the USA. The final approval will be given once some operational procedures are set up.
We sincerly hope that FIFA will give the AUEED's request some serious consideration as the current conditions of the soccer fields at the schools is dismal at best.
