Takaud signs sponsorship deal with Manama Club

MANAMA, August 4, 2015

Takaud, a Bahrain-based specialist provider of savings, investment and pension solutions for the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, has signed a sponsorship agreement with Manama Sports Club.
 
It makes Takaud the main and exclusive partner of its first basketball team, the current Bahrain league champions, said a statement.
 
The strategic deal underlines Takaud's commitment to supporting local community activities, and to backing up endeavors towards international-level professional basketball in Bahrain more specifically, it said.
 
The sponsorship agreement, which was signed recently at Manama Club in Juffair, establishes a special open-ended relationship between Takaud and Manama Club. 
 
According to the deal, Takaud's logo will be on the players’ main shirt as well as the training kit and attire in more than 50 matches played by Manama Club during the League, the Super, the Cup games, and all summer tournaments and friendlies every year.
 
Luc Metivier, Takaud's chief executive officer, said: “Bahrain is our headquarters and home market where we seek to build close collaboration links in the community. Our sponsorship of Manama Club is a part of that. This initiative also sits alongside our commitment to promoting a healthy, life-enhancing lifestyle, which is rooted in everything we do.
 
“Takaud is pleased to be supporting and working alongside the Manama Club in the coming basketball league. On the one hand, we will have the opportunity to support an increasingly popular club and sport in Bahrain, while on the other we will also be able to work together on promoting a long-term financial planning and savings culture for both individuals and businesses."
 
Zuhair Kazerooni, chairman of Manama Club, said: “We will be very proud to have their logo on Manama Basketball shirts this season and hopefully for several coming years. Our long term aim as a club is to continue our Bahrain and GCC lead in basketball championship as well as reinforcing our quest to become the No1 professional basketball in the Arab World.
 
“‘Sports & Financial Fitness’ is the banner that identifies the new spirited blue basketball team of Manama Club this coming season."
 
A special dimension to the partnership is that it entails facilitating a long-term savings plan for each of the club’s first team players, said the statement.
 
The same financial benefit is also being planned for all the children joining the new and first-of-its-kind Manama Club Basketball Training Academy scheduled to open before the end of this year, it said.
 
“In my opinion, opening a savings plan for a child is a great way to give juniors a head start on a lifetime of thrift” said Kazerooni. 
 
""The Manama Club has had fantastic three seasons playing exciting basketball in front of full capacity crowd and winning the league title for the last consecutive years. We look forward to another thrilling season starting this September and playing under Takaud logo,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
