Allianz Saudi Fransi Cooperative Insurance Company launched a youth football championship with 16 teams from across the Saudi capital. The championship, which was organized in cooperation with Al-Ta’oun — Northern Riyadh Club, is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility activities.

“Allianz Saudi Fransi aims to be a very effective and responsible member of Saudi society by utilizing its experiences and relations with German club FC Bayern Munich. Since football is the most popular sport in the Kingdom, the company aims to encourage the youth to build a healthy and fit society,” the company said.

The championship was held last week and the final was played on July 26, followed by a prize-giving ceremony for the winning team and runner-up. Two players were also chosen to travel to Munich, Germany to participate in the Allianz Junior Football Camp 2018, an annual football camp held by Allianz SE and FC Bayern Munich.
