The league is organized by the Public Authority for Youth and Sports, aligning with UFM’s strategy to strengthen partnerships with government entities and encourage sports activities that foster a culture of teamwork and healthy competition among state institution employees.
The sponsorship announcement followed the signing of an exclusive cooperation protocol between the company and the Ministry of Social Affairs. The protocol was signed by Dr. Syed Isa Ali, Assistant Undersecretary for Financial, Administrative, and Cooperation Affairs at the ministry, and Ibrahim Abdul Latif, Chief Executive Officer of UFM.
