Speaking to Daily News after the match, Ram Ally, Director of Ram Film Company, the organisers of the Guardian of the Peak project, said the main objective of the match was to bring young people together, strengthen unity, and encourage them to avoid risky groups that could endanger their lives and the future of society.

He added that the match also aimed to continue supporting youth involvement in environmental conservation efforts, particularly the promotion of clean and safe energy use, alongside campaigns to protect natural attractions, including Mount Kilimanjaro.

The match was described as part of a long-term initiative that uses sports as a tool for driving positive social change, especially among young people across the country.
