In turn, Muhannad Mahadin, one of the founders of the "Haretna" League initiative and General Manager of Sport Development Solutions, stated that the "Haretna" initiative has become capable of delivering the messages and goals for which it was created, and this has become a reality on the ground through the tournament matches, by instilling sports values in young players such as accepting winning and losing and promoting sportsmanship, which was embodied by the character "Wissam" who engaged with the players throughout the tournament through awareness messages. This was also witnessed on the ground through the positive response of the players' parents, who were supportive in a positive way during the matches.
As for the course of the tournament, Awn Al-Jarrah, the tournament director, affirmed the success of the organizational process across all matches by establishing laws and instructions that mimic an educational and technical experience, enabling participants to come away with a unique experience from the "Haretna" League.

In the same context, the "Haretna" League initiative enjoys the presence of volunteers who work on organizing matches and conducting regulatory oversight over the players. Yousef Obeيدات, one of the founders of the initiative, revealed details of this, saying that the "Haretna" initiative intends in each edition to prepare young volunteers and train them on how to manage matches and sports events by organizing teams, auditing rosters, and applying tournament instructions during matches, which serves the voluntary youth mindset and introduces them closely to the ways of managing sports activities.
For the first time, the tournament witnessed the entry of digital platforms dedicated to players through the presence of the SCOUTMENA talent discovery platform, serving as a digital platform that documents football talents for scouts and star seekers.
