Major Khalifa Mohammed Al Kubaisi, Commander of Lekhwiya Sports Centre said, “The training programme for this initiative will be conducted at the facilities of Lekhwiya. We’ll supply specialised trainers, an all-encompassing nutrition team and will arrange various sports and training activities, including swimming, shooting, horse riding, endurance training, and self-defence.”
Jassim Mohammed Al Ali, Events Management Director at Generation Amazing Foundation, emphasized that the primary objective of the initiative is to effect positive change in the lives of children affected by obesity.
“This will be achieved through the development of various sports and football programmes aimed at altering movement patterns, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and raising awareness about the health risks associated with obesity. "Through interactive guidance and education, we strive to equip children with the essential tools to cultivate healthy habits, thereby enabling the emergence of a healthier and more resilient generation, better prepared for the future,” he said.
Negdar, spanning across 15 weeks, is designed to inspire and motivate children to embrace healthier and more active lifestyles, using football as a motivational tool. The initiative also seeks to mitigate the risks of diseases linked to obesity.
