- setting up of media interviews,
- liaising with local and international media,
- media accreditation,
- media centre management,

- exclusive Dubai international media one-on-one interviews with Roger Federer,
- social media management,

The challenge was successfully met with a record breaking 51 945 spectators/fans watching the match live in the stadium; with the event raising a total of USD 3.5 million (approximately R54.6 million) for the Roger Federer Foundation.
