June 27th, 2016: Local futsal side, Fuhood Jumeira, has reached the knockout stages of the annual Nad Al Sheba (NAS) Ramadan Sports Tournament, with the support of team sponsor, Canadian University Dubai (CUD).
Fuhood Jumeira, which includes one of the tournament’s leading goal scorers, Jefferson Luis Correa, won every one of their group stage matches to progress to a quarter final tie with Al Theyaba. Having secured a 6-3 victory in that match, the team will now take on Al Jokar for a place in the finals of the competition.
In sponsoring Fuhood Jumeira, CUD is showing its support for the philosophy behind the NAS Ramadan Tournament, which seeks to test the physical and mental strength of individuals while celebrating the spirit of the Holy Month.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of DSC, this year’s tournament is held under the theme ‘Limitless Abilities’, reflecting the growing movement in sports and sporting events for special needs athletes.
The entire tournament began on June 7th, with a series of competitions going on throughout the month, which have incorporated seven different disciplines, including cycling, archery, volleyball and wheelchair basketball. If Fuhood Jumeira makes it to the finals in the futsal event, they will feature in the grand finale of the competition on June 28th.
The semi-final match will take place at 11:15pm on Monday June 27th at NAS Sports Complex.
