The sponsorship agreement extends for an entire year and
includes establishing 10 centers in seven governorates, with the participation
of 900 male and female players from all age groups, intending to establish them
and develop their skills within a comprehensive and studied curriculum.
At the beginning of his speech during the press conference,
Alayyan expressed his excitement for the launch of the “Junior Falcons” program.
“This is an important moment in the history of Jordanian
basketball, and we have sought to achieve it nearly four years ago, but the
pandemic postponed the launch of the project. Now we can say that the great
support provided by GIZ made the project a dream come true, to build a new base
that would provide the national teams with players in the future,” he said.
Schick, revealed his great enthusiasm for adopting the idea
of the project and supporting it after it was proposed by the Jordan Basketball
Federation, saying: “We seek to contribute to the process of spreading the game
throughout the Kingdom.”
In his speech, Abu Ata said: "We faced difficulties
represented in the lack of stadiums and poor infrastructure, in addition to the
weak player base of 1,200 male and female players in various clubs and national
teams and for all age groups.”
He also praised the partnership between the Jordan
Basketball Federation and the
Ministry of Education, and education plays a role
in the program's success.
