At the end of the training session on Sunday evening, the DFB stars were visited at the training ground at “Al Shamal Sports Club”! Twenty girls from Qatar were allowed to train with the team for more than half an hour.
The reason for this was the action of FIFA’s “Community Events”: “The aim is to promote the participation and empowerment of women in football,” said the DFB press release.
A good thing, which obviously was fun for everyone. However, the visitors were by no means the girls from Qatar, who are not yet passionate about football and need support, as had already been surmised. But about the members of the Qatari football academy of Paris-Saint-Germain.
Director Oliver Bierhoff and team manager Benedict Hovdes were also on the ball for the special training kick, all tried very hard.
Recently, other countries had already made their contribution to the campaign, according to FIFA’s list, everyone is participating. The Netherlands had trained with Qatari guest workers. Canada trained with the World Cup volunteers.
