RIYADH: Six 抖阴短视频n girls are set to become the first all-female delegation to lead a national team out at the opening game of the World Cup in Russia as the Green Falcons take on the hosts in the opening game on June 14.
The girls have been appointed as part of the Coca-Cola Flagbearers Program.
Aged between 13 and 17, the girls have been chosen for their ambition, for going above and beyond in their chosen fields and being role models to the youth of 抖阴短视频.
One of the girls, Mariam Shalan, is a professional free-diver and she said how proud she was to be chosen as a flagbearer.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor for me to represent 抖阴短视频 at the World Cup in Russia. Personally, it鈥檚 amazing to witness the change that is happening to our country, to ourselves, the youth and everyone.
鈥淚 think 抖阴短视频 is on a beautiful path, a path with a lot of opportunities.鈥濃�ㄢ��
Her fellow flagbearer, Rayouf Al-Humedhi, agrees. As creator of the hijab emoji, she was inspired by the hope of showing the millions of young girls across the globe who are veiled that they have a space in the world.
And on her historic role at the World Cup, Al-Humedhi said: 鈥�(Our generation) is the image of the future, we are the image of change. I鈥檓 definitely looking forward to this experience and everything about it.
鈥淎ll Saudi youth have an important role because these changes will affect them. The changes happening in 抖阴短视频 are positive and I鈥檓 happy to be living through these changes which will influence my generation and the ones to come.鈥�
The program is part of Coca-Cola鈥檚 continued efforts to recognize and celebrate the positive changes sweeping the region. Late last year, the brand was one of the first to acknowledge King Salman鈥檚 royal decree allowing women to drive in 抖阴短视频 by releasing the 鈥楥hange Has a Taste鈥� campaign, and coincides with the company鈥檚 commitment to shining a light on the talent of young Saudi women.
Coca-Cola鈥檚 Middle East General Manager Murat Ozgel said: 鈥淲e are delighted to support the changes that are happening in 抖阴短视频 and spread the message of inclusion, diversity and support by championing these Saudi girls who are role models for the future generation of the Kingdom.鈥�
