AZF
Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) will host 12 sporting events during Ramadan Sports Festival from May 9 to 10. For those wishing to take part, registration is now open.
Following the tremendous success of the past few years, the festival has become an anticipated event for sport enthusiasts across Qatar.
Last year, over a thousand people participated in events and competitions as Aspire made the connection between the holy month of Ramadan and sport.
Commenting on this year’s edition of the Ramadan Sports Festival, Abdullah Aman alKhater, Director of Events and Venues at AZF and the chairman of the festival’s organising committee, said: “It is the only festival in Qatar that comprises an array of various sports and welcomes people to enjoy the outdoor playing fields at Aspire and the world-class facilities of Aspire Dome. The event has also created separate sport segments for women, teenagers and people with disabilities, to provide them with an opportunity to participate in one of Qatar’s most exciting festivals of the year.”
Abdullah added: “Every year, we strive to create more sports and activities that are widely accepted by families and individuals by diversifying the activities. We want to be able to accommodate wider segments of the society in Qatar, not only during Ramadan but throughout the year. The cumulative experience of past events is being used to commensurate the wishes of the masses.”
