13 August 2025 - International Olympic Committee (IOC) Young Leader Sara Moamen Abdelsamie has been named one of three global recipients of the 2025 Power of Unity Awards, an initiative by Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner Allianz that recognises individuals and grassroots clubs using sport to bring people together and create positive social change. The award was given for empowering refugee and marginalised youth through the transformative power of sport.

Sara received the award for her work with Alhalimun (“The Dreamers”), a Cairo-based project she founded that is dedicated to supporting marginalised children, particularly refugees in Egypt, through sport. Established in 2024, the initiative creates safe and inclusive spaces where participants can play, heal and develop life skills. The Power of Unity Award includes EUR 10,000 in financial support from the Allianz MoveNow Fund to expand the reach and impact of winning projects, as well as visibility opportunities and access to a global network of changemakers brought together by Allianz.
