Biography
Sheikha Sheikha bint Hamad bin Jassim bin Hamad bin Abdullah bin Jassim bin Muhammed Al Thani was born in New York, Sheikha is a member of the ruling family of Qatar although her Egyptian mother brought her up in England, Egypt, and the USA and she has lived mainly in London since 2011. At the tender age of 14, Sheikha decided to found SATUC and has since dedicated her life to improving the lives of marginalized and disadvantaged children. In her bid to raise awareness and offer her support, Sheikha has already engaged in charitable work in places as far afield as Malawi, kazakhstan, Georgia , the Philippines, and Sudan to name but a few. Despite her travels, Sheikha has always been mindful that charity begins at home and has devoted a lot of her time to projects closer to her bases in London and Cairo, including working with disabled children from Sense Scotland, supporting various children’s hospitals in Egypt and organizing a countrywide football tournament for orphans, refugees and underprivileged children in 2013 we have been using football to inspire and empower children from underprivileged backgrounds. For example, in 2014 we organized the first SATUC tournament in Egypt with 16 teams from all over the country. After this first edition, the tournament grew up in popularity and gained international recognition, support, and cooperation from football stars and historic clubs like Al-Ahly, which is still ongoing.

Then in 2015, she went global as we organized our first edition of the SATUC World Cup in Cairo, Egypt where we invited teams from 8 countries as follows: Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, England, Cote D’Ivoire, and the Philippines.

In 2018 she held the second edition of our World Cup in a different continent, in Europe, more specifically in Sofia, Bulgaria. Where we had 12 teams from all over the world as follows: Bulgaria, Cameroon, Cambodia, Indonesia, Liberia, Syria, Iraq, Morocco, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, and Nigeria.

She has also organized football camps on 5 continents, sending a clear message to children: that through football training, effort, and dedication they can change their lives, as well as avoid falling into criminality or drug use.
