“Last month, we sponsored the 29th edition of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open along with Qatar Airways and we are delighted to continue to support major sporting events that are aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

We are grateful for their tremendous support over the years and we are delighted to have them as our sponsors.”
