The month-long tournament, organised by the Shat Al Arab Team from Seeb, will be held at the Wadi al Awami Football Field and will see 20 teams from Seeb and Bausher vie for top honours.

The final match will be held under the auspices of Hilal al Sarmy, a member of the Shura Council, as the representative of Seeb.

Manoj Ranade, GM, General Automotive Company, said, ''At GAC, we have always focused our efforts towards driving awareness and promoting sports in the country. We also place great emphasis on youth development, having sponsored several sport events and youth teams across the country in the past. Furthermore, sponsoring a tournament for a sport as popular as football not only helps further promote the sport but also helps us engage fans and the community on a more personal level. As such, we are honoured to sponsor this tournament and on behalf of GAC, I would also like to commend the Shat Al Arab Team on successfully organising a tournament on such a scale.''

The tournament, which kicked off during early Ramadan, is currently in its group stages with each of the 20 teams split into four groups of five teams.
