QTF announces Qatar National Youth tournament in partnership with ExxonMobil – Tennis News
The Qatar Tennis Federation has declared to host the second ExxonMobil Qatar Nationals Youth Tournament in collaboration with ExxonMobil. The tournament will take place at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex from
the 20th to the 27th of November 2011.
The Vice President of Government & Public Affairs of ExxonMobil Qatar Inc, Saleh Al Mana was extremely delighted to announce this opportunity for the youngsters of Qatar and while speaking to the media representatives he said,
"We are proud to continue our support for the Qatar Tennis Federation. We’re also pleased to extend our support to the ExxonMobil Qatari Nationals Youth Tournament. This falls in line with our objective to encourage the youth in cultivating their talent and
increase their appreciation of tennis. It is our hope that one of these young players will compete at a global level at events like the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.”
While, Secretary General of the Qatar Tennis Federation, Yousif Al-Obaidli said, “ExxonMobil’s continued involvement in community initiatives is highlighted by their support of the Qatar Nationals Youth Tournament”.
Last year the tournament proved to be a great success after an immense turn out of youngsters in the first tournament. This year, the officials of the tournament decided to conduct the tournament and provide another opportunity
for the youth of Qatar to nurture their tennis skills and represent their country on advanced platforms.
This is the only Nationals Youth Tennis Tournament held in Qatar which promotes a positive contribution in the community. Qatar is not re-known in the field of tennis due to lack of professional players. With the introduction of
this tournament at regular intervals kids and teenagers will be able to refine and polish their tennis skills.
The scale of this tournament is enhanced and it is decided to encompass all those regions that were left out last year due to lack of financial capital. This year’s tournament will encompass 120 boys and girls from all over Qatar
and they are divided in four tiers to give ample chance to every participant to portray their skills. They will take part in four categories that are; under 10, under 12, under 14 and under 18.
ExxonMobil is also involved in one of Qatar’s highest profile sporting events which is the Qatar ExxonMobil Open with world class tennis players like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters and many more competing
for the trophy.
The partnership of ExxonMobil and Qatar Tennis Federation has always proved to be beneficial to the community and the masses. This sponsorship is part of ExxonMobil’s commitment to not only bring world class tennis champions to
Doha but also to the next generation of Qatari tennis players and champions.
