The ISAFA commitment towards promoting the science and the scientists be-hind football throughout good and difficult times.
2020 and 2021 have been two years of severe and extreme challenges for some people, in particular those who have lost friends, family members and beloved ones because of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The ISAFA, its board members and volunteers are sympathetic about the situation. Significant number of sectors have totally transformed their working habits/methods and endorsed working from home. The academic sector is obviously one of these sectors that has accepted the fact that the only way forward is by adopting online teaching and remote delivery. Some have completely cancelled any face-to-face teaching and shifted students’ experience of the higher education to a virtual one. Although some have found the experience quite painful from the mental health side, it is a fact that remote learning has sig-nificantly helped reducing spreading the virus.
