In his response to a question from "Al-Rai" about future plans, Al-Adwan explained the launch of an awareness campaign on the importance of sports and following up on promising talents in various schools and incorporating them into the ranks of Shafa Badran Club in various sports, considering the sporting and humanitarian aspect of the club, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and in coordination with the Director of Educational Development in the Al-Jamea District for the public and private sectors, Dr. Awda Abu Risheh.

The ceremony began with verses from the Holy Quran and a welcoming speech by Club President Kayed Al-Adwan, in which he recalled all the moments since the club's founding in 1995 and everyone who had served in it and presided over it, whether those who are still alive or those who have passed away after leaving behind a huge legacy of the spirit of work.
The club president reviewed the journey of the teams and their ascent to the podiums, adding at the same time: "Certainly, behind this is clear teamwork that led to these important results after a long journey of toil and struggle, but we did not tell anyone so that the players and the technical and administrative staff would remain with the same spirit and determination, and we have more, and the doors of Shafa Badran are open to everyone."
Al-Adwan added: "Jordanian football is experiencing a rise in performance after the World Cup qualification and the presence of the refereeing staff at that event, and we thank the Director of the Referees Department at the Football Association, Omar Al-Bashatwi, for the serious attempts he is making to develop this. The media also had a major role in highlighting the club's image and the qualitative shift of the Athletics Federation."
He added in his speech: "We also congratulate the wrestling, judo, boxing, karate, and taekwondo federations for achieving remarkable results, and we at the club are happy because we do not stop at the sports and youth aspect, but this extends to social and voluntary files with the local community."
