Registration open for Aspire Zone Foundation’s Ramadan Sports Festival

Doha, Qatar: Registration is open for Aspire Zone Foundation’s (AZF) Ramadan Sports Festival to be held from May 8 to 19.

Aspire will host 12 sports events during the festival.

Following the tremendous success of the past few years, the festival has become an anticipated event for sports 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 festival, Abdullah Aman Al Khater, 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.”

The disciplines include football, basketball, handball and hockey competitions in female and male categories, fitness competitions, hockey and wall climbing activities for children aged four years and above, as well as walking in the Aspire Dome.
