Qatar Women’s Sports Committee praises Aspire Zone Foundation for a successful tournament

Two more tournaments reached their conclusion on Friday night as part of the Aspire Zone Foundation Ramadan Sports Festival. The Beach Soccer Tournament finished and so did the Ladies Futsal Tournament, the first time this event had been included in the Ramadan Sports Festival programme. Both tournaments were extremely competitive and exciting.

Exciting final match between Barcelona and Africa Stars

Following a closely fought game, team Barcelona ran out winners of the Beach soccer tournament after beating Africa Stars five goals to two.

In the third and fourth place playoff between Murack and Al Gharafa Falcons, Murack scored seven goals and managed to keep a clean sheet. The result means that Murack secured third place overall with Al Gharafa Falcons in fourth place.

Commenting on his team’s victory, Mohammed Ramadan from team Barcelona said: “Every game throughout the tournament has been tough and we took part in a number of exciting matches. Eventually though, as a result of the team’s hard work, we were able to triumph and win the cup. We would like to thank Aspire Zone Foundation for this amazing tournament and for doing such an excellent job in organising it.”

As champions, team Barcelona was awarded the tournament cup by Mr. Abdulla Al Khater, Aspire Logistics Events Manager.

After an extraordinary game in the Ladies Futsal, Al Khor are crowned champions

They achieved this victory after securing the highest number of points during a number of matches in the final stages. Team Qatar came second, and team Barcelona placed third as well as securing the prize of “best team overall” in the tournament.

Maha Youssef Alabdul Jabbar, Assistant Secretary General of the Women's Sports Committee commented on the tournament by saying: “Winning clearly reflects the progress and development of participating teams in any sport, whether that’s football, basketball or volleyball.

We look forward to continuing this collaboration in promoting the interest of women’s sports in Qatar.”

For her part, Alia Al Shamari, Administrator of Al Khor Club said: “We’re all happy to have had the chance to participate in this event and delighted to have won this first edition of the Women’s Futsal tournament, organised as part of Aspire’s Ramadan programme.
