UAEFA to host training camp for the Sudanese Football Team

For the love of sports

The UAE Football Association will host a training camp for the Sudanese Football Team from 20th to 27th August 2021, as warm up for the African qualifiers of the World Cup 2022 finals. Upon the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs the residents in UAE will witness two friendly matches.

To ensure the success of the training camp, adoption of appropriate medical protocols and medical testing of the Sudanese team will be enforced.

The hosting of the camp underscores the profound overall relations between the two countries, especially including the area of sports. The UAE previously hosted many training camps for Sudanese teams, as well as various football events.

One of the most notable match was between Sudanese Premier League teams Al Hilal and Al Merreikh at the Mohamed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, back in 2018, under the slogan, “Meeting the Brothers on the Land of Loyalty,” which witnessed a large turnout from Sudanese football fans.
