Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic Bank, celebrated Qatar’s National Sport Day today by hosting a wide range of activities for QIB employees and their families.

The event emphasized the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle. It saw the participation of the Bank’s executive management team, employees, and their families.

This year, QIB teamed with Aspire Active and the Jade Center to offer many sport activities and practical health tips to the event’s participants. The day-long program included exciting class demos with the professional trainers leading a wide variety of fitness activities and games tailored to test physical abilities and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Aspire Active distributed free day passes and granted membership discounts to all QIB staff.

QIB’s Group CEO, Bassel Gamal, commented: “The health and wellbeing of our employees is important to us. Our Bank’s National Sport Day activities reflect our commitment to support the government’s country wide initiatives to promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all citizens and residents in Qatar.”

The National Sport Day launched back in 2012, as part of the vision of Qatar’s wise leadership. This day aims to educate people on the importance of physical activity and build a sustainable healthy culture across the society.

“The National Sport Day event hosted annually by QIB is an important part of the Bank’s on-going efforts towards community engagement. It is contributing to fostering a culture of sports in the larger community and we are really happy to know that our employees and their families realize the significance of this national initiative and choose to always participate. This is a good opportunity to gather outside the work atmosphere and to participate actively at this event” added Bassel Gamal.
