Ooredoo will be the Platinum Sponsor of the upcoming Hejen Racing Festival set to be held at the Al Shahaniya camel racing track, the telecom company has announced.
The sponsorship agreement was signed by Yusuf Abdulla al Kubaisi, chief operating officer of Ooredoo Qatar, and Abdullah al Kuwari, vice-chairman of Camel Racing Organising Committee.
The Hejen Racing Festival is one of the most popular racing events in the region, attracting entrants from across Qatar and neighbouring Gulf states. Some 5,000 camels from Qatar and the Arabian Gulf participated in last year’s event in races ranging from distance 4km to 8km.
The Hejen Festival is designed to celebrate the vibrant culture of Qatar and the Gulf region, as well as to promote cultural values such as honour and good sportsmanship. The event features eight races held over a number of days, and the final race is considered the most prestigious, with the winner being awarded the sword of the Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani.
Speaking about the event, Yusuf Abdulla al Kubaisi said, “We’re delighted to be renewing our sponsorship of this invaluable event, in line with our promise to support community events under our corporate social responsibility strategy. The festival is a unique way we can celebrate integral elements of Qatari culture, and we look forward to seeing some incredible racing over the course of the event.”
