The initiative was selected following a rigorous screening process by Tawakkol Karman Foundation, which reviewed over 600 proposals submitted for the "Musanada" program. The program provides financial and administrative support to selected initiatives, ensuring they are implemented effectively and make a meaningful impact in their communities.

Taking place across various sports venues in the Maramiyah neighborhood of Sayun, the initiative targets young people and diverse social groups. Its goal is to promote mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence among youth through sports activities.
