Registration for both men and women who are 16 years and over opens today, via the website www.aspirezone.qa/ramadan.
President of Aspire Zone Foundation, Hilal Al Kuwari said: “This Ramadan Sports Festival falls under the slogan of “Hayyakum b Aspire” and is designed to help all members of the community stay active throughout the Holy month of Ramadan, which, this year, falls during the middle of summer.
He said Aspire Zone Foundation has always been committed to providing activities for all, including athletes and non-athletes.
“This is the least we can do for the people of Qatar to maximize their benefit enjoying the fabulous venues and services of our Sports City,” Al Kuwari said.
Al Kuwari explained that there will be a number of different aspects to this year’s festival.
He said a number of cultural, religious and charitable events have also been added to the programme this year.
“One of the key themes of Ramadan is family. The activities we offer are designed for the whole family to enjoy together, regardless of age. These include religious lectures in the Aspire Mosque, in addition to a host of other charitable activities,” he said.
The tournaments and various cultural, religious, and charitable activities will be held across the Zone. The Peninsula
