A prize money of QR800,000 will be up for grabs for the finalists of the prestigious Amir Cup Volleyball Championship on May 18.
Defending champions and 13-time winners Al Rayyan Club will clash with four-time runners-up Police in the final, which is scheduled at the QVA Indoor Hall at 9.30 pm
The winners will take home QR500,000, thanks of chief sponsors Video House and Electronic Centre, while the runners-up stand to earn QR300,000.
