President Obama's Gift
In October 2009, one of the club's fans designed the team's shirt with the name of the American President Barack Obama, and the number 44, Obama's position among the American Presidents. The fan sent the shirt to the US Department of State. The gift was accepted and an official letter sent back to the fan acknowledging Obama's acceptance of the gift, and praising AlWasl Club's rule and achievements in the region.

Famous quotes containing the word president:
“... [Washington] is always an entertaining spectacle. Look at it now. The present President has the name of Roosevelt, marked facial resemblance to Wilson, and no perceptible aversion, to say the least, to many of the policies of Bryan. The New Deal, which at times seems more like a pack of cards thrown helter skelter, some face up, some face down, and then snatched in a free-for-all by the players, than it does like a regular deal, is going on before our interested, if puzzled eyes.”
—Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884–1980)
