114 teams comprising of 12 players each are playing against each other in 9 different assigned residential areas like Rashidiya, Nad Al Hammar, AL Quasis, Hamriya, Hatta, Jumeirah, Umm Suqueimm, Al Quoz and Jaffliya.
The objective of the championship is to support sporting activities in residential areas and encourage the youth to take up leading roles in community activities while using the summer holidays and free time to play football and avoid unnecessary dangers.
At EDI, we believe that there is a very close relationship between sports and driving. Driving on our roads and playing sports share the need for skills such as anticipation, planning and timing with judgment of speed and distance, making quick decisions with fast reactions.
A strong sense of fairness, respect for rules, courtesy and patients are qualities that are admired throughout sportsmanship and they also happen to be the corner-stones of safe, mature driving. Self discipline and self control are crucial components to both.
There is absolutely no place for aggression, selfishness or rudeness, whether it is on a sports pitch or on the public road!
Mr. Amer Ahmed Belhasa, Managing Director of Emirates Driving Institute, said:
"As a keen sportsman all my life I see that the qualities of a good sportsman are also those that go to make up a safe and responsible driver and we are delighted to share this opportunity to influence the behaviour of our young citizens wherever we can."
Emirates Driving Institute conducts safety demonstrations using safety exhibits like the Roll-Over car and the Seat Belt Convincer. Safety Lectures are also conducted during the safety demonstrations. The players and spectators can actively participate in these demonstrations gaining effective experience and driving tips which will prove helpful for teenagers and young adults alike.
