As part of the initiative, orphans accompanied football players onto the pitch at the start of matches, spanning 20 matches and benefiting a total of 440 children. To complete this initiative, the organization partnered with several charitable associations dedicated to orphan care across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In its pursuit of delivering a unique experience for participating orphans and motivating them toward academic excellence, the foundation also organized the participation of orphaned children in the Al-Ahli vs. Al-Nassr El Cl\u00e1sico match, held on Wednesday, April 29, at Alawwal Park Stadium in Riyadh. During the event, the children wore attire representing the professions they aspire to pursue, symbolizing their future ambitions. This provided moral support and encouraged academic distinction. The initiative aligns with Community Jameel Saudi\u2019s objectives and Saudi Vision 2030, which aim to support and academically empower orphans through programs such as the Tanweer Program for academically outstanding orphans. Over the past 15 years, the foundation has organized summer educational and recreational trips for high-achieving orphans to several countries, including Japan, France, Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia, Egypt, and others.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-300x214.jpeg\" alt=\"Community Jameel Saudi Supports Orphans\u2019 Aspirations Through Football\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-1024x731.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-768x548.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-1536x1097.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.49-2048x1462.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50-180x120.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/www.communityjameelsaudi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-05-03-at-10.16.50.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>In this context, Mr. Abdullah Talab, Director of Social Programs at Community Jameel Saudi, stated: \u201cOur goal today goes beyond mere presence on the pitch; we aim to create an inspiring experience that motivates children toward academic excellence.

This approach aligns with the foundation\u2019s long-standing strategy of supporting orphans academically and empowering them through our various programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that, as part of this initiative, the orphans accompanied several international players participating in the matches, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Man\u00e9, and Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix from Al-Nassr, as well as Riyad Mahrez, \u00c9douard Mendy, and Franck Kessi\u00e9 from Al-Ahli.
