Meet Our Team

 Founder & Chair 

I’m Ziad — an all-round sportsman, leader, and believer in the limitless power of movement. From professional football to squash, gym, tennis, volleyball, handball, and athletics, sport is not just what I do, it is who I am.

I’m the former Cairo Zone President at the Egyptian Squash Federation and currently a Board Member of the Egyptian Rugby Federation and Head of its Development Committee, shaping the future of sport through strategy, structure, and vision. Sportopidea embraces a comprehensive concept in organizing sporting events for diverse categories and levels, while placing a strategic focus on the masters’ segment, a powerful generation that has long been overlooked, yet carries unmatched experience, discipline, and passion. 

My ambitions are to redefine what it means to compete, proving that excellence has no age and passion has no finish line, and championing a deeper philosophy where sport is not merely a pursuit of medals or victories, but a lifelong journey that forges character, refines values, and elevates the human spirit. 

I am committed to transform the principles of sport into a culture of honour, growth, and purpose, where what truly matters is not only what you achieve, but who you become in the process.

I believe sport builds stronger bodies, sharper minds.

Co-founder and board member

Hello! I'm Ashraf. As a lifetime Squash player, sports enthusiast, and community builder, I bring over 30 years of strategic leadership and large-scale project expertise to the Sportopidea mission.

My professional foundation spans Engineering, Architecture, Real Estate, and Academia. I believe that delivering exceptional sporting experiences requires the same precision, planning, and logistical expertise needed to successfully build a city or manage a development.

My work in real estate development and urban planning taught me that a community thrives when its spaces are thoughtfully designed and I am profoundly committed to Sportopidea’s promises to build strong networks, promote sportsmanship values, implement sustainable practices, and encourage more people to engage in sports and physical activities.

I am passionate about leveraging decades of development experience to ensure Sportopidea doesn't just manage events, but engineers unforgettable foundations for health, wellness, and community growth.

Marketing & Communications Manager

I’m Reem — a storyteller, brand shaper, and believer in the power of sport to move people. With years of experience leading rebrands, campaigns, and creative strategy across major hospitality and lifestyle brands, I’ve learned that the strongest impact comes from authenticity and emotion.

Sport is where I find discipline, joy, and purpose. It’s why I’m committed to growing Sportopedia’s reach and deepening the community’s love for movement and sportsmanship. To me, sport is more than competition — it’s character, resilience, and a culture that inspires us to become better versions of ourselves.

I believe sport connects us, strengthens us, and brings out the very best in who we are.

Co-founder & Vice Chair

Hello and Welcome to Sportopidea!

My professional background and core expertise, as strategist, leadership practitioner, entrepreneur, blending global corporate leadership with impactful non-profit development, is giving me a 360-degree view focusing on excellence, implementing global standards to scale Sportopidea operations, achieving innovation-driven and impactful results.

I have been privileged with my international exposure, working and living in Africa, Europe, MENA, Southeast Asia, and traveling around the world. This journey has given me deep respect for diversity, inclusion, and cultural agility.
