Doha-Qatar, February 14th , 2023

Masraf Al Rayan marked this year's National Sports Day by collaborating with the Qatar Olympic Committee as the primary sponsor of a joint event hosted in the Education’s City Oxygen Park of Qatar Foundation. The joyful day featured a variety of events and activities attended by National Federations, Team Qatar athletes, people with special needs, the QOC family, schools, and community members.

Moreover, Masraf Al Rayan organized a series of fun-filled activities at its booth under the slogan "Movement is Blessing,". The booth saw a large number of visitors who spent a fun day at Oxygen Park, which fully fulfills the ESG principles by offering sporting activities in a natural setting to rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and spirits via active exercises. MAR is committed to participating in initiatives that promote various sports as part of its CSR strategy since it believes these events will motivate people to be active and make fitness a part of their life.
