Activities such as the Hamriyah Summer Meeting strengthen our company's status inside and outside of the country, and prove our willingness to support such activities in any part of the world."

The Hamriyah Sport and Cultural Club management praised Al Hanoo's continued sponsorship, as well as the impact the company has made on the city, thanking the company for the success of last year's event, which Al Hanoo also sponsored. In addition to the Hamriyah Summer Meeting, Al Hanoo sponsors numerous social, cultural and sports activities, the last of which was the Al Mualla football tournament in the emirate of Um Al Qeweein.
