OMR4 million pact inked to invest in  lands of OOC, sports associations

Muscat: The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth and Al Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Company on Sunday signed an agreement to invest in the lands of Oman Olympic Committee (OOC) and Omani sports associations and federations.

The agreement deals with constructing facilities opposite the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Bausher on an area of 18,000 square metres at a cost of OMR4 million.
