The Ramadan Media Padel Championship kicks off in Riyadh under the patronage of the Minister of Information
Under the patronage of the Minister of Media, Mr. Salman bin Yousef Al-Dossari, the Ministry of Media launched the inaugural Ramadan Media Padel Tournament, a unique sporting and social event bringing together leading media organizations. The tournament, held at the Padel Rush courts in Riyadh City Boulevard from March 1st to 5th, offers a special Ramadan atmosphere designed to break the professional routine and strengthen bonds of camaraderie among media professionals.
Enhancing communication and building bridges of cooperation
This unique initiative comes as part of the Ministry of Information's strategy to enhance internal and external communication among media professionals, away from the pressures of daily work. Through "Media Exchange," the Ministry seeks to create an interactive environment that combines fair competition with camaraderie, thus opening new avenues for cooperation and the exchange of expertise among the various participating media platforms and institutions. Sports are a universal language capable of bridging distances, and this is precisely what the Ministry aims to achieve by making this tournament an annual gathering eagerly anticipated by the media community.
Why play padel sports during Ramadan?
The choice of padel was not accidental; rather, it coincided with the significant sporting boom in Saudi Arabia, where padel has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular sports in Saudi society, especially during the nights of the holy month of Ramadan. This sport is distinguished by its social nature and its ability to combine physical fitness with enjoyment, making it the ideal choice for establishing a culture of sports as a healthy and balanced lifestyle, which is one of the main objectives of the Quality of Life Program.
Riyadh City Boulevard: The Event Destination
Choosing Riyadh City Boulevard to host the tournament adds another dimension to the event, as it is one of the most prominent entertainment and sports destinations in the capital, Riyadh. The padel-rush courts offer outstanding infrastructure, ensuring a high-level, professional experience for participants. The Ministry intends to make this tournament an annual tradition, selecting a different sport each Ramadan season to ensure diversity and cater to the varied interests of media professionals, thus enhancing the dynamism of the media sector and its close connection with the community and its diverse activities.
