DUBAI, May 28, 2015

Al Bustan Centre and Residence (ABCR), a popular hotel-apartment in the heart of Dubai, UAE, hosted athletes of seventh Fazza Wheelchair Basketball Tournament last week.

In cooperation with the General Authority for Youth and Sports Welfare, Dubai Sports Council and the UAE Paralympic Committee, the sporting event was held at Al Ahli Club hosting eight countries including Oman, Kuwait, Morocco, Australia, Egypt, Thailand, Germany and the UAE.

The team from Germany emerged as champion of this year’s tournament.

Moussa El Hayek, Al Bustan Centre and Residence chief operating officer said during the Awarding Ceremony held at the property: “We will continue supporting sporting events like this since we believe that people with disability can do a lot of things and excel in various aspects of life. This has been the house of Fazza athletes for nine consecutive years and it will always be a privilege to accommodate them.”

Thani Juma Berregad, chairman of Dubai Club for Disabled and head of the organizing committee for the Fazza Championships for People with Disability welcomed the teams and other members of the Fazza Committee.

“Al Bustan Centre & Residence has always been a “home away from home” for the athletes, providing and offering them with comfortable stay and convenience to prepare for each competition, and the opportunity to explore the services and facilities,” he said.
