Publication Date: 1 Oct 2012

The tournament is being held under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation and President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood. It will host 16 teams and 300 participants from various Abu Dhabi companies in front of an expected audience of 3000 people.

The aim of the tournament is to encourage sports and active lifestyles - one of the most important ways to ensure good public health and a way to combat diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Available statistics shows that more than 90% of those who participated in previous tournaments have started playing sports regularly.

ADNEC is sponsoring the event as part of its corporate social responsibility programme and its long-running support for organisations that help to combat diabetes and high blood pressure. The tournament also aims to raise awareness of the importance of sports and its role in giving people a chance to enjoy a healthier life.

In cooperation with its partners, ADNEC will continue to foster this approach to support such organisations and will help to provide its services in the best and finest means. ADNEC has called on its employees of all ages to participate in the tournament and to maintain active lifestyles. Active lifestyles have a positive impact on the corporate work environment too, helping make employees more productive and efficient.
 

The company recently organized the first ADNEC Ramadan Football Tournament which was held in Zayed Sports City during the holy month of Ramadan, including teams from ADNEC, Hyatt Capital Gate Hotel and Aloft Abu Dhabi Hotel.
