Exclusive sponsor
As this season’s exclusive platinum sponsor, Muna Noor will be featured on players’ kits and branding signage at matches played throughout the GCC region, as well as at some of the annual international rugby events.
Muscat Rugby Football Club (MRFC) was formed in 1971 under the patronage of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said and has been playing consistently against GCC teams since then.
Last season the senior team once again won the Gulf Conference Championship playing against teams from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
MRFC also has a highly competitive veterans team that also saw success in GCC tournaments such as the Sharjah Tens, Bahrain Midnight Tens and Dubai Sevens.
