MUSCAT: As part of its sponsorship, Oman Arab Bank (OAB) has arranged for three buses to take over 150 fans to support the Omani National Team in the upcoming group stage matches in the UAE as part of the AFC Asian Cup. This initiative was launched in collaboration with the Oman Football Association (OFA), through whom fans were required to book their spaces.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Hilal Al Siyabi, the Head of Corporate Communication at OAB said, “Football is a sport that is very near and dear to the hearts of the people of Oman. As a prominent bank in the country, we are honoured to be in a position to sponsor the transportation to take fans to support the National Football Team in their upcoming matches. Furthermore, doing so not only helps further promote the sport but also helps us engage with fans and the community on a more personal level.”
All bookings were taken on a first come, first served basis through OFA. The next trip will be when Oman play against Japan on January 13 at the Zayed Sports City Stadium, Abu Dhabi. The last of the three group stage matches will be against Turkmenistan on January 17, taking place at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
“Each of these teams is extremely talented but I am confident the Oman has what it takes to come out on top. On behalf of OAB, I would like to wish each of the players the very best of luck in their upcoming matches,” added Hilal Al Siyabi.
