Lulu Hypermarket partners with JPL for youth football league

Muscat: Lulu Hypermarket, Oman’s fastest growing hypermarket chain, announced its partnership with the Junior Premier League (JPL) to support Oman’s highly anticipated youth football league.

The Lulu Junior Premier League, Oman is being launched from 28 October 2023 – 2 March 2024 at ABA International School ground.

Lulu’s commitment to this community venture shows their passion in keeping young people active by being involved in a safe and professional environment which also aims to develop key values in young people such as teamwork, respect and sportsmanship.

Both Lulu and the JPL maintain the shared goal of attaining the fundamental elements outlined in the “Oman 2040” vision. This event aims to nurture young national talent. A pathway such as this, provides a stage for young footballers to showcase their abilities, which may lead to them realising their full potential and a prosperous future.

Martin Brock, CEO of JPL, commented, ‘’We are thrilled to have Lulu Hypermarket partner with us for our inaugural launch of the Junior Premier League in Oman. Not only do they have a strong presence in the Sultanate, but they are also very well established throughout the GCC, forging greater ties when this tournament is taken to the next level, the GCC Champions Cup later next year.’’

Shabeer K.A, Regional Director, Lulu Hypermarkets Oman said, “Lulu is proud and privileged to be associated with the inaugural edition of the Junior Premier League kicking off this month. There is enough buzz around the event which I am sure is going to be an ideal platform for the aspiring footballers promising an exciting tournament. We wish the organisers and all the players the very best.”

As a key promoter of social initiatives, Lulu has initiated several projects and contributions and has also joined hands with various firms to support the community towards a better tomorrow.--------
