We congratulate the winning companies and wish the rest better luck next time. This tournament was conducted keeping in mind that employees are the key to organisational success. Similar to a player in a football team, companies and their employees need to operate as a team to achieve collective goals. With each game, we could see the core values needed for organisational success displayed on the pitch. We are sure this tournament also helped in strengthening the ties between the employees of The Zubair Corporation and affiliated companies.”

Nine participating companies were divided into two groups. The first group included Oman Oil Industry Supplies & Services Company, Oasis Water Company, Zeenah Group, ELCO and

ARA Petroleum B44. Whereas, the second group included ARA Petroleum Exploration and Production, Zubair Automotive Group, Shangri-La, Omani Computer Services and Bait Al Zubair. Each group saw teams playing against each other, with the first and second of each group qualifying for the next round. Tournaments like these are a great way to enhance communication and teamwork between employees. Through these teams, we seek to form a winning eleven team called Al Zubair Corporation team, to participate in the tournaments organised at the company and corporate level”.
