MUSCAT: Sunday marked the start of Liverpool FC’s season with a 4-0 win against West Ham United which took the mighty reds to the top of the table. It also coincided with the seventh anniversary of Oman’s oldest official football supporters club, Oman Reds the Official Liverpool FC Supporters Club in Oman and a celebration was held at the Grand Hyatt Muscat.


The fan group has gone from strength to strength since starting with just two friends meeting at a house to watch the games and has now expanded to over 300 members, has English and Arabic sections, and has meets in two different venues on match days.


The Oman Reds do not only gather to watch games together. In 2013, fans travelled to Liverpool and played on the pitch at Anfield against other international supporters clubs. Members can also get access to match day tickets and the club has got 27 tickets to various matches for the members this season. Oman Reds members also get to go to Anfield for a black tie dinner with LFC legends every year. The group has also hosted ex LFC players in Muscat such as Alan Kennedy, who scored the winning goals in 2 European cup finals and Gary McAllister who scored an unforgettable goal against Everton in the Merseyside derby vs Everton.


After the celebration the Oman Reds held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2018. The meeting was chaired by Nabil al Busaidi, the Chairman of Oman Reds and attended by the committee members and other members of the supporters club.


The committee members voted in for the 2018-19 season are Nabil al Busaidi as chairman, Adam al Jabry as secretary and Sean Hennessey as treasurer and they are working on many exciting initiatives for the Oman Reds this season. It is free to join the Official Liverpool Supporters Club in Oman and if you would like to join you can message the committee through ‘Oman Reds’ on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
