We sincerely thank Sohar Aluminium and OQ companies for the financial support they offered for this project, which proves how pioneer these companies are with regard to corporate social responsibility. We also commend and appreciate the positive cooperation we have experienced from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth to facilitate the procedures of the project.”

We expect that the club will make good financial returns that will help diversify the club’s activities, programmes and competitions. Returns will enable the club's management to meet the requirements of the various segments of the community,” Sheikh Sultan Al Hosani added.
