Amina Kassem was appointed as a manager of the 2023 Women’s World Cup matches by the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA). As the first African and Egyptian woman to take on this monumental role, Kassem has etched her name in history.
Kassem brings with her a wealth of experience in managing and organizing championship matches, having previously overseen various aspects such as stadium management, crowd control, and team coordination in Melbourne, Australia. Her meticulous approach to her work and the ability to thrive under pressure has been instrumental in her success.
In an interview with Al-Masry Al-Youm, Kassem expressed her immense joy at being given this opportunity and stated that it is a significant step in her career. She also mentioned that she will continue to represent Egypt by participating in international forums and world championships.
As a graduate of Cairo University’s Faculty of Economics and Political Science, Kassem’s academic background has undoubtedly played a role in her success. Her career trajectory began when she was selected to work for the Ministry of Trade and Industry, where she honed her skills in management and logistics.
The 2023 Women’s World Cup will take place in Australia and New Zealand, whereby the Swedish national team emerged as champions after defeating the Australian national team by two goals to one. With Kassem at the helm, we are confident that the matches will be executed flawlessly, and we look forward to witnessing history being made once again.
