Entries from around the globe have touched down on the island ahead of the Interior Ministry Tennis Challenger Championship, which kicks off tomorrow.
This first-of-its-kind event organised by the ministry will run over 10 days at the ministry courts.
Public Security Sports Association president and Organising Committee chairman Colonel Khaled Abdulaziz Al Khayyat said they are fully prepared to host this international event at the club premises.
He said that as per the directives of Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, all arrangements were completed, as the club tennis courts were designed with international standards under his guidance.
Col Al Khayyat said the courts were highly admired by the International Tennis Federation delegation during their recent visit to the kingdom to inspect the tournament’s venue and facilities.
He pointed out that participating delegations and players all arrived on Friday. The Public Relations Committee has begun receiving delegations and finalising all procedures before registration takes place at the club today.
Col Al Khayyat noted the support of General Shaikh Rashid to bring this event to Bahrain for the second time.
He stressed that the minister’s directives have contributed to overcoming all obstacles while facilitating all matters to make the event possible.
The tournament director also lauded the co-operation of the Public Security Officers Club to ensure they have fully prepared the courts and facilities in time for the matches.
