DOHA: To help build the excitement for the finals of the Emir Cup, Ooredoo has hosted the Emir Cup trophy at its main offices in Doha this week, as the nationwide trophy tour continues of the main sponsors and partners of the tournament.
As the main telecommunications partner for The Emir Cup, Ooredoo is running the special #Koora campaign, to encourage as many people as possible to attend the matches, cheer on their favourite team, and enjoy the incredible summer of sport.
The Emir Cup will run until May 17, and is Qatar’s most popular annual football tournament, with the winners guaranteed a place in the 2015 AFC Champions League.
The trophy was displayed at the Ooredoo Tower in West Bay on 5 May, with a delegation of Ooredoo’s senior officials and employees posing with the trophy. The cup was then sent to Ooredoo’s HQ2 airport shop which has received a special football makeover, as part of the company’s #Koora celebrations.
The tour was attended by the famous Al Ahli football player, Omar Abdulaziz Al Ansari.
The Al Ahli team is set to play in the Emir Cup semi-final against Al Sailiya on May 10 at 5:15pm. Fatima Sultan Al Kuwari, Director Community & Public Relations, Ooredoo, said: “The Emir Cup is one of Qatar’s most important sporting events, and we’re proud to not only continue our tradition of sponsorship for it, but also champion the people to get involved with the exciting year of sport we have ahead. This is just the beginning and we encourage all of Qatar’s football fans to come cheer on the teams.”
The #Koora campaign is part of Ooredoo’s ‘Year Of Sport’ initiative which was launched to bring people together, improve health in Qatar, and encourage a fitter lifestyle for all.
As part of the campaign, Ooredoo will be rolling-out a number of competitions and services such as the Emir Cup Goal booth and Instagram #EmirCup2014 challenge.
