The launch, which targets the Catalonian giant's Middle-Eastern fan base, comes within the framework of the cooperation agreement between LINKdotNET and F.C. Barcelona, champion of multiple European titles.
F.C. Barcelona, one of the most famous clubs in the world and the first to launch an Arabic - language website, could do no better in awarding the site's operating rights to LINKonLINE, a division of LINKdotNET, the region's leading provider of internet solutions and which operates the rights to some of the region's most prominent websites such as Masrawy and MSN Arabia.
The cooperation agreement was concluded during F.C. Barcelona's visit to Cairo on the occasion of Al-Ahly's (N.S.C.) centenary celebrations. A simple ceremony took place at one of Cairo's major hotels where the agreement was signed between F.C. Barcelona's vice president, his marketing staff and Mr. Karim Bichara, LINKdotNET Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Mohamed Sultan, LINKonLINE Chief Executive Officer, commented "The portal is intended to Tighten the relationship between F.C. Barcelona and its Middle-Eastern fan base. Users will be able to follow the club's team news, results and fixtures. The club is in no doubt that the number of fans in the region will increase accordingly. "
He added "The portal will be airing up -to- the minute club news, player interviews and hosting of other services aimed at soccer lovers in the region.
