Join us on our journey to make an impact, one conversation at a time.

SAFA’s story began with a spark of passion from Omar Alali, a student who dreamed of creating a space for meaningful discussions on global affairs. Though some doubted his vision, Omar, with co-founder Khalifa Albah, worked tirelessly to build the foundation of SAFA from the ground up. Their hard work paid off when, on October 4, 2023, the club launched with a successful event attended by Sheikh Sultan Al Qassimi. Since then, SAFA has achieved incredible milestones, including winning its first-ever club fair in Fall 2023 and continuing an inspiring win streak to this day.
