MUSCAT, SEP 21
The first Arab corporate football cup will be held in 2023 and an agreement was signed between the International Socca Federation and two of its members, Sport Makers from the Sultanate of Oman, and 2 Brothers Group from the Kingdom of Morocco.
The signing of the agreement held in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, coincided with the organisation of the third edition of the Socca World Cup 2022 in the Hungarian capital.
The agreement was signed from International Socca Federation by the founder and President David Leone while the other side was signed by Imad Mahassine, CEO of 2 Brothers Group and Waleed al Obaidani, founder and CEO of Sports Makers, with attendance of Tom Nash, Tournament Director for the ISF.
The agreement aims to organise the first Arab Football Corporate Cup for employees in Morocco, in early 2023. The International Socca Federation assigned the task of supervising and organising the competition to 2 Brothers Group from Morocco and Sport Makers from Oman, for their prominent role in the development of sports competitions for the employees of companies in both countries and their outstanding contribution to the success of the World Cups organised by the International Socca Federation since 2018.
2 Brothers Group is the leading company in creating and organising corporate events in Morocco. Over the course of more than 10 years since its establishment, the group has succeeded in making a leap in the quality and volume of major corporate sporting events in Morocco, by involving more than 18,000 participants, representing more than 430 companies – national and multinational – in various sports competitions. 2 Brothers Group is now recognised as the leading company in the management and execution of corporate sporting events in Morocco and Africa, and one of the most prominent players in this field in the Arab world.
On the Arab Gulf level, Sport Makers is one of the leading companies in activating corporate and amateur sports in the Sultanate of Oman and the Arab Gulf states and has a proven track record in managing and organising local tournaments and international participations representing the Sultanate of Oman in corporate and amateur world championships. Sports Makers also have a long-term partnership with a number of government and private agencies in Oman and the Middle East. Sports Makers Company is credited with taking precedence in changing the culture of sports competitions for corporate employees and amateur teams and introducing them to international competitions representing Oman since 2016.
The International Socca Federation aims to sign the agreement with 2 Brothers Group and Sport Makers to create sports competitions with a high level of organisation for employees of companies operating in the Arab world, provided that the experience will be evaluated and developed for international competitions in the near future.
