SULTAN RASHED: THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE IS THE TOURNAMENT’S SUCCESS CODE

Sultan Rashed, Board Member of Al Ain Club Football Company and Sports Director of Al Ain Academy, said that the code for the success of the tournament was the great efforts exerted by the Organizing Committee who harnessed all available sources to overcome all the obstacles that faced them, in addition to the commitment of all participating teams with sportsmanship, ethics of the game and the spirit of competition.

Sultan said: “We faced one main challenge that is the tight schedule of preparation for the tournament as the idea of holding the tournament was addressed one month prior the month of Ramadan, but Al Ain Club with its qualified and experienced staff managed to organize this tournament which is not only successful in terms of organization but also technically as the participating teams exhibited a strong and stunning level of performance which reflected positively on the competition and that was apparent during the final rounds.”

He added: “The success of this tournament in its first edition confirms that it starts big and certainly makes everyone wait eagerly for the second edition in the coming month of Ramadan. We are expecting to have a bugger tournament and to include other activities other than football and for all groups of the community.”
