MENACORP is a subsidiary of the Bin Hamoodah Group, a family-owned, multi-industry company which manages a range of businesses across various sectors in the UAE. The Bin Hamoodah Group has been actively embarking on noteworthy causes in accordance with its comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility agenda. Its strong support for the country’s police department stems from the fact that one of its founders, the late Hamoodah Bin Ali Bin Hamoodah, was the former Minister for Internal Affairs. Later appointed as the Minister of Interior, he was largely credited for founding the police force.
Fathi Ben Grira, CEO, MENACORP, said: “Our support for this year’s edition of the Seven-a-Side Football Championship shows that we are one with our security forces in their consistent efforts to enhance communication, networking, and cooperation between their personnel as well as encourage fair competition among them. The football event being held at the Zayed Sports City Stadium is just one of the many social programs initiated by our police that we highly encourage and promote. We are happy to extend our assistance to them to ensure that the objectives are attained and that the games go smoothly.”
The single round-robin tournament is officiated by certified referees from UAE Football Association (UAEFA). Sponsoring the championship is also a show of unparalleled support by MENACORP to parent company Bin Hamoodah Group.
