Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) organized Inter-Telecom Table Tennis and Badminton League which was held at Rodham Hall, Sports Complex Islamabad. The four-day event that began on May 2, comprised 8 teams from Pakistan's leading telecommunications companies. These teams participated in the men's and women's categories, said a press release issued here on Monday.
Commenting on PTCL's lead in holding the tournament, Syed Mazhar Hussain, CHRO, PTCL said, "Let me congratulate PTCL, NTC & Huawei teams for being the champions of Badminton, PTCL and Jazz Teams for Table Tennis and its players for emerging as the well-deserved winners. I would like to appreciate all the participants for exhibiting true sportsman spirit and enthusiastically contributing towards making this tournament a success.
It is pertinent to mention here that creating healthy competition in the sporting arena is PTCL's hallmark. Such activities will bring the telecom sector employees closer and will enable us to promote a healthy sporting culture."
The tournament pulled large crowds including families and youth. All the teams displayed true sportsmanship, yet the tournament witnessed hard-fought contests and exciting individual performances.
The PTCL has played a vital role in developing a culture of sports activities within the organization. Earlier this year, a mega sports gala was organized by the company in Islamabad during which employees and their families participated in a variety of sporting activities.
The PTCL has been sponsoring key sports as part of its contribution towards building a healthy Pakistan. It recently sponsored a T20 tournament for disabled cricketers.
The company sponsored Pakistan cricket team's bilateral T20 series in New Zealand and also sponsored a Hockey Hall of Fame World XI tour to Pakistan.
The PTCL co-sponsored Islamabad United lifted the glittering PSL-3 trophy in March 2018, thus replicating its effort in the inaugural season of Pakistan's premier T20 league.-PR
