Egypt-based Hyde Park Developments has signed a three-year global partnership with Egypt’s swimming champion Farida Osman to become her exclusive global partner and develop “Farida Osman Swimming Academy,” situated in Hyde Park New Cairo, Invest-Gate reports.

Developing the champion’s first swimming academy, Hyde Park Developments will back the champion in all her forthcoming local and international championships, both financially and logistically.

Hyde Park’s swimming academy is scheduled to be developed after Osman competes in the 2020 Olympics tournament, the developer says in a statement.

The partnership was signed during a press conference in the presence of Minister of Sports and Youth Ashraf Sobhy, President of Egyptian Swimming Federation Yasser Idris, Hyde Park Developments’ CEO Amin Serag, swimming champion Farida Osman, and President of Gezira Sporting Club Amr Gazarin.

Hyde Park Developments’ CEO said during the signing event “Hyde Park’s choice to partner with Osman comes from an understanding of the role that she can play in shaping the lives of youth, as one of the most successful emerging sports icons. Farida is a real champion who works hard and has already contributed significantly to the history of Egyptian sports.”

“Our decision to use Farida’s name to start our swimming academy comes from our understanding of the inspirational icon she has become for younger generations and we believe that this academy will play an important role in encouraging new young talent,” Serag adds.

On her part, Osman expressed her pride in collaborating with Hyde Park to become an Egyptian ambassador for the game through “Farida Osman Swimming Academy,” which will contribute to the training of a new generation of swimmers.

Osman also praised the developer’s role in providing support to the Egyptian sports sector, especially the individual games, “highlighting that Egypt has many talents that deserve support, adding that such a valuable partnership makes her want to achieve more and more in the future,” the statement adds.

“Today I signed a global partnership with Hyde Park Developments. A collaboration giving birth to my first branded swimming academy that will stand as an incubator for unique talents. It’s time to get more Egyptians on the global swimming stage,” Egyptian Swimming Champion Farida Osman says on her official Facebook page.
