Kuwait: For the second time, Zain has sponsored Bait Al Othman Museum’s carrom tournament in collaboration with the Volunteer Work Center and the Public Authority for Sports. The competition came under the patronage and attendance of the Director of the Volunteer Work Center Sheikha Amthal Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.

During the awards ceremony held at the museum in Hawalli, Zain was recognized for its support to the competition. In attendance were the tournament’s patron, Sheikha Amthal Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, Hawalli Governor and Al-Asimah Acting Governor Ali Al Asfar, Honorary President of Bait Al Othman Museum Adnan Al Othman, Zain Kuwait Chief Corporate Affairs and Relations Officer Waleed Al Khashti, Director of Abdullah Al Othman Heritage Center Anwar Al Refaie, along with public figures, diplomats, and participating teams.

Zain’s support to this unique local event came to reflect its keenness to support any cultural initiative or program that strengthens belonging to our national identity, promotes Kuwait’s rich heritage, embraces local talents, and helps introduce local traditions and values to new generations.

Bait Al Othman Museum, part of the Volunteer Work Center, hosted the carrom competition for two consecutive days. Carrom is a tabletop game of Indian origin that is deeply rooted in Kuwaiti heritage and tradition and stimulates mental focus and hand skill. This year’s competition featured 240 teams with over 400 players and was supervised and refereed by a team from the Public Authority for Sports. Winners were awarded with valuable cash prizes.

Zain takes pride in supporting the programs and initiatives of Bait Al Othman Museum, one of Kuwait’s top cultural and touristic destinations. The museum works to document and preserve Kuwait’s rich history, heritage, and tradition, and hosts several cultural and social programs all year round.
