Children play football on the streets

The picture clearly shows children playing football in the parking area of a telecommunication company located on Old Airport Road in Abu Dhabi. This happens regularly and is a disturbance to the public and pedestrians passing by the area. Children are seen playing as if they are in a proper football field.

Sometimes, the ball hits the vehicles parked and causes damage. The parents don’t seem to be bothered to advice their children against what they are doing. A friend of mine who lives in this area is afraid to park in this lot because he is worried his car might get damaged by the ball.

I request the authorities to take immediate action to stop such things from happening and help the public and residents.
