Ooredoo and Paris-Saint Germain bring International Football to Oman

Ooredoo is giving children in Oman the opportunity of a lifetime; to learn from world-class coaches at a clinic held by Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) between 13 and 14 March. Ooredoo has launcheda special social media campaign using the #OurOman, asking parents and youth to upload videos of 6 to 16 year olds, showcasing their footballing talent. Ooredoo will then select the most promising young stars to participate in the workshop.

“We are investing in human potential,” said Kumail Al Moosawi, Chief People Officer at Ooredoo. “Our focus on the community continues to grow, and this unique prospect offers an unforgettable experience for local youth to learn from the very best as well as showcase their talent to the world. This programme will empower young people and instil in them the value of teamwork, discipline and commitment, as we open the door for their dreams to become professional footballers.”

The clinic will bring some of France’s finest footballing coaches to deliver the training. Participants will include players selected from football clubs, children of Ooredoo family members, special VIPs and those who applied on the Ooredoo Facebook page with #OurOman.

The programme forms part of both Ooredoo and PSG’s approach to encourage healthy lifestyles and support young peoples’ ambitions and aspirations. To date, Ooredoo has held a number of events to drive individual and collective growth through sports, including football and cricket, in addition to forming partnerships with local gyms to promote greater health awareness.
