Pius Parackal, Director, Human Resources and External Relations of Sony Gulf, said:
"Football teaches team work, discipline and strategy adding to the overall development of the child and this is what we want to foster in the younger generation through the Sony Football League. I've been following the league very closely and was delighted to see all this demonstrated on the playing field by children. As Sony, it gives us a sense of fulfilment to be able to provide the children this platform to showcase their football skills."
Dubai English Speaking School and GEMS Wellington International School won the Champions trophy for the Year 5 and Year 6 respectively. Jumeirah English Speaking School and Jebel Ali Primary School won the Champions Trophy for the Year 3 and Year 4 respectively. Individual medals for winners and runners-up were presented including awards for the top goal scorer of the tournament and player of the tournament.
Rob Ingham of Royal Dubai School said, "The children's excitement had started much before the tournament, whilst preparing for it and it has been a great experience for them throughout. The Sony league has brought together boys from different schools' and you can see the competitive spirit all around you which makes football even at this grass-root level very meaningful."
