 Sarycarmen Diaz reports
After the Gala Dinner at the Egyptian Embassy Residence in
Mexico City, Copa Sin Limites started on June 11th, two teams,
Egypt & Latin America played three matches, in an amazing
afternoon at an event never seen before in the world.
 It all started at 11am with clinics for almost 70 kids, given by
Moustafa Hamada and five of the players, while the sixth player,
Mohamed ElShorbagy, visited the Hospital XX de Noviembre in
Mexico City with the Dr. Payaso (Clown Care) association,
The world #1 visited some kids that have Cancer but having him
visit them made them smile and forget about their disease for a
while. One of the goals for the Copa Sin Limites Organizing
Committee for this event was to help two ONGs, and goal that was
achieved.
The main event, presented by PICO Energy Group, started at
5.30pm, with 800 seats plus around 200 people watching the 3m
screen outside the stadium making this an unforgettable night.
The players had the opportunity to live a different experience
with their fans, who where in line from 8am to get a seat in the
stadium, doors opened at 4.30 pm but it was FREE entrance,
lining up was the only way to assure a seat for this event.
Everyone was excited and after the opening ceremony where
classic Arabic dances where presented by a professional ballet
the adventure started, the teams were ready.
After four hours of play the three matches all finished with
wins for Latin America.
