This league, as the company’s first sports initiative, represents an important milestone in the “Solutions+” journey, as it establishes a new generation of community sports programs. It was designed to be a comprehensive platform that brings together players from different segments of society, enabling them to compete and hone their skills in a safe and stimulating environment, strengthening social ties and highlighting emerging local talent.

On this occasion, Abdullah Al Mansouri, Acting Chairman of Abu Dhabi Entertainment Company (a subsidiary of Solutions+), said: “We are proud to launch the first sports tournament under the umbrella of Solutions+; It is an initiative aimed at nurturing young talent and expanding community participation.
