Al Asa'ad said: "I would like to send a message to support the refugees in all refugee camps around the world. To achieve their dreams and aspirations by practicing sport that develops their bodies, minds, and their self confidence, that teaches them tolerance and sport's ethics, and enlighten their lives with hope for a better future.

"The mountain that has inspired the African continent on its journey to freedom, today its inspiration extends to reach all the world's refugees, renewing hope in them and promising them a better tomorrow.”
