Salam Stores, the exclusive distributor of Nikon imaging products in Qatar, has expressed pride in Nikon being the Official Supporter of the ongoing Asian Cup 2011.
This is the third consecutive year that Nikon has supported the event. The AFC Asian Cup 2011, hosted by the Asian Football Confederation, is concluding on January 29.
"Salam Studio & Stores is proud to be retailing a brand like Nikon which not only provides our customers with high quality photography equipment but also revels in the nation’s excitement about football and sporting legacy,” said regional general manager Ibrahim Bitar.
Nikon is operating a service depot to provide support to accredited photographers at the event. Nikon is also hosting the Nikon Field Photographer Programme, being conducted for football events held by the AFC since 2008. The programme aims to provide local families in Asia with opportunities to feel the excitement of football by taking photographs of the players with Nikon digital SLR cameras before the kick off.
Nikon and the AFC have also opened a photo gallery on the official event website.
