Our company Gulf International Promotions (for sports and Entertainment) is based in Dubai. We specialize in organizing various sports and entertainment events. Our major projects are held during the Dubai Shopping Festival where thousands of sportsmen and sportswomen take part in various sports activities. We also organize international events and have the honour of being the first organizers to bring a Goan football team to Dubai to play in a tournament that consisted of Al Wasl Club of Dubai, Kerala Police of Kerala, Old Bens Club of Sri Lanka and Churchill Brothers of Goa. The tournament was a large success with Al Wasl defeating Churchill Brothers in the final. In the year 2000 we sponsored the UAE Goan team that participated in the Mini Goan World Cup held in Margao and Duler in Goa, India. We were unlucky to loose in the final to the Hosts Goa on penalty kicks. The Tournament was organized by a body called Goans International and was scheduled to be held every two years. We have not as yet heard of the tournament to be held and have been given to understand that the organizing body does not exist as a body any more. This is unfortunate but things such as these do happen. We at Gulf International Promotions would like to revive the tournament and are planning to organize it here in Dubai in March 2003. This will however depend on the response we get from teams. We on our part will arrange for visas to Dubai for players and families, we will make special arrangements for subsidized hotel stay with meals, transport from airport to hotel and ground and will negotiate with the airlines for special deals on airfares. We should be grateful to receive your feedback and to know whether teams would be interested in taking part. It would be useful to have a coordinator from each country to liaise for the team/s that wish to participate. We would like teams from all over the world to participate. Dubai is a beautiful place to visit and the weather is great in March. Moreover it will be a good opportunity for Goans from all over the world to meet and exchange views. Who knows maybe a Goan convention can be held in this beautiful Oasis? You may log on to www.justclickdubai.com to get further information on Dubai. We should be grateful if teams would kindly send us tentative replies as soon as possible to enable us to decide whether the tournament is feasible or not. If it is, we will have to get the ball rolling immediately as we will need all the time we can get to have a great tournament. We look forward to your replies and any suggestions, ideas, will be more than welcome. We sincerely hope teams will be able to participate and help to keep up the great Goan (sporting) name. Yours Sportingly Gulf International Promotions Dubai United Arab Emirates. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
