Dubai champions visit corporate headquarters to celebrate historic quadruple victory and acknowledge key sponsorship role
In a gesture of profound gratitude and respect, Shabab Al Ahli Dubai Football Club presented their four championship trophies to strategic partner The Kanoo Group during an honorary celebration at the company's Bur Dubai headquarters this week.
The ceremonial visit, led by H.E. General Talal Al-Shanqiti, Chairman of Shabab Al Ahli Football Company, served as both a celebration of the club's historic 2025 quadruple achievement and formal recognition of The Kanoo Group's pivotal role as gold sponsor in the team's unprecedented success.
The distinguished delegation included Dr. Khaled Al Zahid, Managing Club Director, and star players Hassan Hamza and Mohamed Mansouri. The four trophies — the UAE Pro League championship, UAE President's Cup, UAE Super Cup, and UAE-Qatar Super Cup — were prominently displayed at The Kanoo Group's headquarters as a symbolic gesture of appreciation and shared pride.
"This visit represents far more than a courtesy call," said H.E. Mishal Kanoo, Chairman of The Kanoo Group, who personally hosted the celebration alongside top management from The Kanoo Group who were present to welcome the team. "When champions take time to honor their partners by displaying their trophies at our headquarters, it demonstrates the authentic nature of true partnership. We are deeply moved by this gesture and proud to have played a role in Shabab Al Ahli's historic achievements."
The quadruple victory marks the ninth UAE Pro League championship and 11th UAE President's Cup for the Dubai-based club, cementing their position as one of the region's most successful football franchises.
"The Kanoo Group has been instrumental in our journey to this historic quadruple," said H.E. General Talal Al-Shanqiti. "Their support throughout the season provided the foundation upon which our success was built. By displaying our trophies here today, we wanted to ensure that The Kanoo Group understands they are not merely sponsors, but true partners in our achievements. These victories belong to them as much as they belong to us."
The Kanoo Group has established itself as one of the Gulf region's most enduring business enterprises, with operations spanning shipping, logistics, travel, and various industrial sectors. The company's sports partnerships align with the UAE's broader strategy to leverage private sector engagement in developing the nation's athletic excellence.
"This partnership transcends traditional sponsorship boundaries," added Mishal Kanoo. "We share a commitment to excellence, whether in business or on the football pitch. Shabab Al Ahli's quadruple victory demonstrates what can be achieved when vision, dedication, and strategic support converge."
Shabab Al Ahli's 2025 quadruple achievement places the club among an elite group of football teams worldwide to accomplish such a feat in a single season, with The Kanoo Group's support playing a crucial role in providing the resources and stability necessary for sustained excellence.
