Speaking on the sidelines of the training session, the President of the Kuwait-based FC Bayern Munich Fans Association, Mr. Mohammed Al Damkhi, said: “We have attended FC Bayern Munich’s training camp in Doha for the past six years and it’s become a key event on our agenda. Aspire Zone’s training camps are great and provide the ideal melting pot for football fans and their favourite football stars.”
