Ooredoo has extended congratulations to its brand ambassador Nasser al-Attiyah after his win at Rally Australia on Sunday, his third WRC2 victory of the season.
Al-Attiyah and co-driver Giovanni Bernacchini won the rally in his Ooredoo-branded Fiesta RRC, coming out with a clear lead over international competition.
This is the third Super 2000 World Rally Championship win for al-Attiyah this year as Qatar’s sporting hero looks to finish the highly competitive championship in pole position. The win moved al-Attiyah to within eight points of series leader Lorenzo Bertelli, who finished fourth.
Ooredoo works closely with al-Attiyah in Qatar, looking to promote sporting spirit and inspire the next generation to drive safely. With Ooredoo’s ongoing investment in network speeds and development – particularly with Qatar’s first 4G mobile Internet service – its work with the rally champion is an excellent fit, according to a statement.
Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari, director of Community & Public Relations at Ooredoo, said: “We congratulate Nasser on his amazing achievement in Australia. Like Ooredoo, Nasser
excels in delivering a high-speed performance against international competition and continues to build upon his leadership position.”
Ooredoo worked with al-Attiyah on the official launch of Ooredoo 4G in 2013 and the service is now available across the country.
So far in 2014, al-Attiyah has achieved first place in the Portuguese and Argentinean rallies for the World Rally Championship, first place in Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan in the Middle East Rally Championship and a podium place at the Dakar Rally.
To celebrate the success of al-Attiyah’s sporting achievements in 2014, Ooredoo awarded the driver with a new high-performance sports car at an event in June.
The Word Rally Championship is a highly challenging international motorsport series, with entrants racing in 13 hosting countries against conditions such as snow, ice, high altitudes, rocks, desert, gravel and rainforest.
Ooredoo’s sponsorship of al-Attiyah is a part of several initiatives the company has undertaken to encourage sports education and inspire more young people to take up sports, the statement adds.
