Dubai: The 5th Dubai Labor Tournament continues at various locations in Dubai. A wrestling match and a tug-of-war competition were held at Dulsco Arena in Al Khoos yesterday, with 525 workers from 35 companies participating. Abdullah Lashkari Mohammed, Secretary General of Dubai Permanent Committee of Labor Affairs, honored the various organizations that won the competition.
This time there are 11 sports for the workers like basketball, football, road racing, arm wrestling, badminton, volleyball, swimming and tug of war. This time women are also participating in yoga, cricket, kabaddi, volleyball and badminton. This is the first time that women are participating in the Labor Tournament. The seven-month-long tournament is attended by workers of different ages from different parts of Dubai.
The event is organized by Dubai Sports Council (DSC) in partnership with Dubai Permanent Committee of Labor Affairs and Dubai Police. The contribution of workers to the development of the country is invaluable. The aim is to provide them with an opportunity to take a break from their daily routine and participate in their favorite sports. More than just a competition, it is also a celebration of Dubai’s cultural diversity.
Abdullah Lashkari Mohammad said that the tournament is being organized with the theme ‘Their happiness is our goal’ for the welfare of all sections of the society.
The competitions will be held at ten locations across Dubai, including Jebel Ali, Al Khoos, Al Jaddaf, DP World, Qizais, Muhaisna 4 and Al Ghurair Residential Complex. The tournament, which started on September 3 last year, will end on March 13 next year. In 2010, the Dubai Sports Council started a sports program for workers. Thousands of workers in Dubai are participating in the event.
