Doha: Following the success of last year’s basketball tournament, AlMana Group, one of Qatar’s leading business conglomerates, organised another round of weekly basketball games.
The series took place in June and culminated with the finales on August 5. The team of McDonald’s Qatar played impressively and scored 53, securing the title of 1st runner-up of the season.
The staff and management of the Group gathered again for Saleh Al Hamad AlMana 5th Basketball Match — an annual friendly basketball competition for employees from all business divisions of the company, held at International School of London Basketball court.
This year, seven teams competed for weekly matches, including Team McDonald’s The One’ GO Sports-A and B; AlMana Fashion; Casper & Gambini; and Nissan.
Kamal Saleh Al Mana, Managing Director, Al Mana Restaurants & Food Co., the owner and operator of McDonald’s restaurants in Qatar, said, “I congratulate the winners of this year’s basketball tournament and the other teams who participated and worked tirelessly on the basketball court. I feel the match exemplified camaraderie and sportsmanship. This is a testament to the spirt of AlMana’s employees who strive to achieve a common goal of fostering a strong bond with staff across every corporate brand.” During the weekly tournaments, employees of each division flocked to the court and cheered for their teams. The AlMana Group basketball series is part of internal human resources strategy to promote ties among its personnel across the Group.
