the establishment.
“With the current spotlight on football, it’s the perfect
time to get kids excited about playing sports and being active,” said Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor
of KidZania Kuala Lumpur. “Sports is
more than a healthy pastime, it improves coordination, builds confidence and
helps develop social skills. Games can also teach kids about cooperation and
teamwork; these are important aspects of growing up and we are proud to present
‘KidZania SportZ’ for the second
time, giving children more opportunities to ‘Learn Life Today’.”
