Emirates Gas, a subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), went face to face with the UAE Special Needs team in a friendly game of wheelchair basketball at Al Thiqah Club for Handicapped in Sharjah. Emirates Gas team members used wheel chairs to play during the entire length of the game.

The match was organised to honor the efforts and highlight skills of people with special needs, and comes as part of the social responsibility agenda of Emirates Gas. Senior management from Emirates Gas also honored 15 players from the UAE Special Needs team after the match.

"ENOC and all of its subsidiaries uphold the highest standards of corporate social responsibility and undertake group-wide activities based on our business ethos. The new initiative of Emirates Gas will further foster community spirit and bring together people," said Saeed Abdullah Khoory, ENOC Group Chief Executive.

Hesham Ali Mustafa, General Manager, Emirates Gas, said: “We enjoyed playing against the UAE Special needs team because the game was not about winning or losing but about having fun, displaying good sportsmanship and trying something new. A key part of our community development programme is to help integrate people with special needs into the society and the game has helped us move closer to that goal.”

Emirates Gas is the leading gas supplier and market leader in the UAE partnering in the growth and development of the nation by supporting industries, hotels and other sectors of the economy by offering reliable and efficient services.
