Oman sports: Bank Muscat begins field visits to review 2016 Green Sports applications

Muscat: Bank Muscat, the flagship financial services provider in the Sultanate, has begun field visits by a committee to review and short-list 2016 Green Sports applications from sports teams for greening and infrastructure development of playgrounds across the Sultanate.
The committee will visit all the applicant fields over the next two weeks. Marking the fifth year of the unique Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, the bank will support the development of 15 football fields in 2016 in line with the ‘Let’s Do More’ vision and partnership to promote Oman as a sporting nation.
The Green Sports initiative launched by Bank Muscat in 2012 has gained momentum with a total of 49 teams across the Sultanate benefiting from it till date, of whom 19 teams have received funding for natural or synthetic greening, desalination equipment, and floodlights.
The football fields developed as part of the Green Sports initiative are also serving as a meeting place for children and youth to be engaged in gainful activities. The fields are used to host various activities such as Ramadan nights, group weddings and other celebrations. Such community activities are helping children and youth develop strong positive character traits.
Bank Muscat is committed to its ‘Let’s Do More’ vision for the economy, community and environment and is proud to have led the way in contributing to sustainable development in Oman with various initiatives. As the nation’s leading financial institution, Bank Muscat aims to provide the momentum for youth to excel in all arenas and thereby contribute to the development and progress of Oman.
