Stone laying ceremony for BD 286,000 football stadium

Youth and Sports Affairs Ministry is keen to implement His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s directives to provide all kinds of support to the youth and sports movement and to develop the infrastructure of national clubs, Youth and Sports Affairs Minister Hisham Al Jowdar said yesterday while patronising the foundation stone-laying ceremony of a football stadium for the Umm Al Hassam Club.

Mr Al Jowdar asserted that the establishment of modern stadiums will support clubs and boost the game in Bahrain.

MP Bu Majeed, in his statement, lauded HM King Hamad’s constant care for Bahraini youth through the infrastructure projects implemented for sports clubs across the kingdom, paying tribute to the Youth and Sports Affairs for supporting the Umm Al Hassam.

Umm Al Hassam Club’s Chairman, Dr Hisham Abdulrahman Al Binali, said that the minister’s patronage of the ceremony reflects his support for national clubs.
