KUWAIT: In an exciting day for local football fans, and with over 25,000 spectators attending Sabah Al Salem Stadium, Zain celebrated the thrills of the Kuwait Premier League (Dawri Zain) derby between Arabi SC and Qadisiya SC in the 13th round’s opening match. The company set up a dedicated fan zone to engage with fans of all ages during the most-anticipate­d

clash in the league.

This step was part of the plan Zain outlined to engage with football enthusiast­s through its official sponsorshi­p of the Kuwait Football Associatio­n’s competitio­ns for the 2022-2026 seasons. This partnershi­p includes the biggest two contests: The Kuwait Premier League (Dawri Zain) and the Zain First Division League, and also includes extended support to HH the Amir’s Cup, HH the Crown Prince’s Cup, and the KFA Cup (Zain Cup). For the exhilarati­ng derby match between Arabi SC and Qadisiya SC, Zain dedicated a special fan zone at Sabah Al Salem Stadium, with activities and fun programs starting two hours before the kick-off whistle. Scores of fans from both clubs joined the fan zone’s activities, where Zain presented sportsthem­ed

games and distribute­d gifts and prizes.

Continuing its pledge to support athletes and promote excellence in the league, Zain has dedicated this season alone over KD 60,000 worth of cash prizes for players and fans, the biggest prize pool in the local league’s history. The company remains a strong supporter of local athletes and believes that such encouragem­ent to athletes and engagement with fans contribute to elevating the league’s quality.

Zain firmly believes that the private sector has a vital and active role in developing the local sports and youth sectors, and the company makes this belief a reality by sponsoring and supporting some of the nation’s biggest sports competitio­ns, including this partnershi­p with Kuwait’s top football contest.
