Doha – Qatar
Saturday's final of the Minister of Transport and Communications’ Fifth Ramadan Football Cup Championship at the Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena will be remembered for long, most notably, for Qatar Rail’s landslide.
The Qatar Rail football team have been crowned champions of the fifth annual Minister’s Ramadan Football Cup Competition 2018 after defeating the Vodafone Qatar team 7-1.
There were many goals in one direction and everything was fully under Qatar Rail’s control in a faceoff that saw only one goal for the opposing team.
To score a goal was not a hard job for Qatar Rail players. The match was neither a tight affair nor a deadlock to break. The ball touched Vodafone Qatar’s net 7 times.
Qatar Rail, which scored 7 easy goals, actually wasted several other golden scoring opportunities.
HE Minister of Transport and Communications Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti attended the final match and crowned the winning team.
Civil Aviation Authority Chairman HE Mr. Abdulla bin Nasser Turki Al Subaey, Qatar Rail Managing Director & CEO Eng. Abdulla Abdulaziz T.
