Of the deeper partnership, ADSC general secretary Aref Al Awani said in the release: “We are always keen on activating partnerships with governmental institutions, which contributes to strengthening the development of the sports and community.
“We look forward to working with our partners at Mubadala to build on the successes they’ve already achieved through their community engagement programme, by expanding this even further.”
