With as many as 216 players participating in the 2016 edition of the GOAL Sports Tournament, Ooredoo congratulated their female employees for making the tournament a success.
During the closing ceremony, medals were presented to the winners by Qatar Woman’s Sport Committee (QWSC) president Ahlam Salem M al-Mana and Ooredoo’s Chief Corporate Services Officer Mohammed Jassim al-Kuwari.
This is the third ever female GOAL tournament, which is designed as a teambuilding exercise for female employees across Ooredoo. The players from across the company took part in activities such as volleyball, shooting, table-tennis and table-football.
Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari, Ooredoo’s director of Community & Public Relations, said: “We had a 50% rise in the amount of players taking part this year, a statistic I’m very proud of. We launched the female only GOAL tournament so that our employees could represent their department and have some fun, and I’m ecstatic to see such a positive turnout in our third year. We believe in championing women and hope everyone had a good time.”
Apart from the matches, the company had a dedicated children’s zone, which held 127 children during the tournament, which took place at the Qatar Women’s Sport Committee on the February 23-24.
