Ooredoo has announced it is to be Exclusive Telecommunications Sponsor for the upcoming VIP Padel Ladies League Tournament.

Padel – a racquet sport similar to tennis but played on a court with walls – is currently one of the most popular sports in Qatar. The VIP Padel Ladies Tournament is set to be held from 10-12 December 2020 at Marsa Malaz Kempinski.

Players will join either the advanced Gold League or the regular Silver League. 44 players in 22 teams – 10 teams of 2 players in the Gold league and 12 teams of 2 players in the Silver league – will compete in group stages and a play-off stage, with three teams winning in each league.

Sabah Rabiah Al-Kuwari, Director PR at Ooredoo, said: “A key part of our corporate social responsibility strategy, and of our commitment to the United Nations Sustainability Goals, is a commitment to supporting events that promote a healthy, active lifestyle for the benefit of us all. We’re excited to see the rise of this sport in Qatar, and delighted to be supporting the tournament to both raise the profile of the sport and give participants an opportunity to practice their skills and compete.”
