Zain

Responsible Sponsorship

Sport
In 2002, Zain formed a basketball club in Jordan, primarily to interact with the community and promote the company in the country and the region. Three years later, the team was winning local, regional and international tournaments. The club’s management also recognized the importance of developing youth groups and there are now 120 children registered at Zain’s mini-basketball school.
Sport plays a big role across our operations, many of which have formed sports teams to compete with other companies. To date, Zain has sponsored football, tennis, golf, bowling, fencing, basketball, kickboxing and athletics, including marathons.
