Football: Bank Muscat celebrates 50th Green Sports field in Wadi Al Mawil

MUSCAT: Bank Muscat marked a milestone with the inauguration of the 50th football field developed as part of its Green Sports initiative in the Wilayat of Wadi Al Mawil.
The Guest of Honour, Sheikh Khalid bin Hilal Al Mawali, chairman of Majlis Al Shura, presented the Green Sports football field to Al Ajal Sports Team, in the presence of dignitaries and senior bank officials.
Addressing the gathering, Taya Bait Sabeea, Interior Region Branches, said: “This is a proud achievement for Bank Muscat to celebrate the inauguration of the 50th Green Sports football field. The unique CSR initiative reiterates the bank’s commitment to develop modern sports infrastructure across the Sultanate. Complementing government efforts in building a sporting nation, the initiative benefiting communities, especially youth, is aimed at contributing to sustainable development and all-round progress in Oman.”
Khalid bin Salim Al Naabi, President of Al Ajal Sports Team, said: “We are thankful to Bank Muscat for the Green Sports initiative, which has made vital contributions to creating an ideal environment for Omani sports talents. The unique initiative is a big support for the country’s youth and we are confident that many youngsters will benefit from this programme and become sporting heroes for the country.”
The scope of Green Sports support for sports teams include greening of football fields with natural or synthetic turf, floodlights or water desalination equipment in areas facing problems of water salinity.

As the nation’s leading financial institution, Bank Muscat aims to provide the impetus for youth to excel in all arenas and thereby contribute to the development and progress of Oman.
