Doha: Ooredoo has announced it would be Exclusive Telecommunications Sponsor for the upcoming VIP Padel Ladies League Tournament.
Padel – a racquet sport similar to tennis but played on a court with walls — is currently one of Qatar’s most popular sports.
The VIP Padel Ladies Tournament would be held from today until December 12 at Marsa Malaz Kempinski.
Players will join either the advanced Gold League or the regular Silver League. 44 players in 22 teams — 10 teams of 2 players in the Gold league and 12 teams of 2 players in the Silver League - will compete in group stages and a play-off stage, with three teams winning in each league.
Director PR at Ooredoo Sabah Rabiah Al Kuwari said: “A key part of our corporate social responsibility strategy, and our commitment to the United Nations Sustainability Goals, is a commitment to supporting events that promote a healthy, active lifestyle for the benefit of us. We’re excited to see the rise of this sport in Qatar and delighted to be supporting the tournament to both raise the profile of the sport and allow participants to practice their skills and compete.”
