The annual Saleh Al Hamad AlMana Basketball tournament organised by the AlMana Group always seems to deliver thrills during the final hours of the match. This year too witnessed the same frenzy as the 6th edition concluded. 
This annual friendly basketball competition for employees from all business divisions of the company was recently held at Arab International School’s Basketball court. The team of McDonald’s Qatar played impressively, securing the second place in this season. This was made possible with the leadership of the coaches – Rafael David, Nishad Jayasinghe and Ramon Abdon – and McDonald’s team players’ boundless moves and will power.
This year, the six teams that competed for the weekly matches included McDonald’s, The One, GO Sports, AlMana Fashion, Casper & Gambini and Nissan. They were applauded by their families and friends as they competed for the coveted titles and prizes.
Fadi Rezek, General Manager at AlMana Restaurants & Food Co, said: “The initiative is part of the organisation’s commitment towards nurturing a healthy work environment and knowing the importance of team building in refining understanding, co-operation and the overall quality of work and success for everyone. It created a bond between co-workers as they support, cheer and work together that lifts each one’s morale and spirit.”
During the weekly tournaments, employees of each division flocked to the venue at Arab International School and cheered for their respective teams. The AlMana Group basketball series is part of internal human resources strategy that aims to promote healthy and strong ties amongst its personnel across the entire group.
