WHY US?

By Mushira Khattab

Mushira Khattab Quote of the Week

"Hosting the World Cup is a great honour for Egyptians and will be a memorable moment for our children and our people. Reaching out to the global population from this land of peace -- by hosting an occasion that introduces to lives of our children a new league of role models and championship football players -- is indeed an inspiration and motivation to Egyptian children, youth and people. Not to mention football fans among Egyptian women who certainly aspire to join the World Cup Championship soon."

Khattab is the secretary- general of the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood. She is a veteran diplomat who served as an ambassador of Egypt to the Slovak Republic, the Republic of South Africa and Australia. Khattab was awarded the Order of Good Hope from the republic of South Africa.
