Sabah Rabiah al-Kuwari, director PR at Ooredoo, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be sponsoring this awesome event, especially since the past few months have been tough for all of us with lockdown and limitations on sporting events. We’re committed to supporting events that promote a healthy, active lifestyle as part of our corporate social responsibility strategy and in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development goals, and we look forward to an enjoyable event – albeit virtual - that will encourage Doha’s citizens and residents to get back to being active.”
