On the inauguration ceremony, Badr al Hajri expressed his happiness about the successful execution of Al Shabab Sports Team’s lighting project as part of the 'Green Sports' programme. He congratulated Al Shabab team for the successful completion of the project which will contribute to the development of the main infrastructure of the team. The field will also represent a suitable venue for the team to organise events in the evening and to organise different cultural and sports activities contributing to the enhancement of their sports skills. Furthermore, a large segment of the Omani youth are keen to join the events related to the sports and social arenas. Bank Muscat will remain committed to serving the youth through its CSR programme 'Green Sports' to keep pace with the developments that contribute to the growth of the sports teams all over the Sultanate of Oman.

Khalil al Habsi said: ”I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bank Muscat for the continuous support to enhancing the 'Green Sports' programme. This programme represents a major social initiative for developing the youth’s talents and sports teams in Oman. The fields of local sports teams constitute strategic and convenient areas to organise various sports and cultural activities. Therefore, the new lighting project of Al Shabab team was the dream of the Omani youth while it has now become a reality that would provide the team with an ample opportunity to develop their talents and sports potential through hosting multiple sports and cultural events, activities, and competitions in the evening.”
