 This is the fourth year Shell has supported Qatar’s national sport at the highest level, showing support for the local community and the development of the game in Qatar. The agreement was signed by Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Bin Ahmed Al-Thani, Qatar Football Association President, and Andy Brown, Qatar Shell Country Chairman. Professional football in Qatar continues to develop rapidly. HH The Emir Cup is the premier tournament with a proud history dating back over three decades. Crowds at the matches will witness the best action that club football in Qatar has to offer. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmad Al-Thani said: “The Qatar Football Association is pleased to welcome Shell again as platinum sponsor of HH The Emir Cup. We are grateful for Shell’s continuing strong support for the competition and look forward to watching some top-class football with our Shell friends. I am sure that Shell will help us make this championship a huge success.” Andy Brown added: “Wide participation in sport is one of the goals of National Vision 2030. We hope that this sponsorship will support the achievement of that objective. The popularity of football in Qatar is also a tribute to the work of the governing body. At Shell we are pleased to offer our support, because we know how important football is to so many people in this country.” |
