**Batelco’s Sponsorship in line with its Commitment to Youth and Sports**

Batelco, as part of its CSR commitment to Sports and Youth events is delighted to sponsor Red Bull’s Winning 5 which is returning to Bahrain for the second time. The event took place in 2013, also with Batelco’s support, and was a huge success with participants and spectators.

The qualifying rounds will take place from October 26 to 29 at a number of locations around Bahrain. Only the best 16 teams will move to the final that will be held on October 31 at Arad Fort.

Red Bull Winning 5 is a very challenging football championship which guarantees very competitive and exciting games. The basic elements of a Red Bull Winning 5 game consists of teams of 5 players who compete against each other in 10 minutes long games. Goals are two meters wide and one meter high with no goalkeeper. The team that concedes a goal has to eliminate a team member and this continues until the complete team is eliminated one member at a time, or until the end of the 10 minutes.

The qualifying schedule is as follows:-

• 26 October: Riyadat Mall, Aali
• 28 October: Budaiya Club
• 29 October: Winners FC – Isa Town

All matches will begin at 7pm.

“The competition will be very entertaining for spectators as the Winning 5 format is very exciting to watch and offers something different from the usual. We are therefore very pleased to support Red Bull in this fun initiative and wish them every success,” said Batelco Group General Manager Corporate Affairs Ahmed Al Janahi.
