Opening of the 17th FIFA/CIES International Programme in Cairo
Cairo University, who are the CIES academic partner in Egypt, inaugurated the 17th edition of the CU/FIFA/CIES International Programme in Sports Management last week on its Sheikh Zayed campus near Cairo.
The university authorities and CIES representatives welcomed the 117 students who will be attending classes until next June. The 17th edition has seen candidates travel from Egypt, France, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE in order to be part of the Programme.
Divided into three groups (Arabic, English and French), the participants will familiarise themselves with the tools of modern sport management, and also refresh their knowledge in the field. During the first face-to-face session, the cohort had the opportunity to leave the classroom to visit the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
It should be noted that this year, Cairo University has developed an original graphic concept for the Programme based on Thoth, the Ancient Egyptian deity of wisdom and knowledge.
We would like to welcome all of the new students. We are certain that their academic ‘adventure’ with Cairo University will be highly rewarding.
