Al Taawn Football Team had a good win in the local league competition to celebrate Oman’s 39th National Day . They won the first round 4:1 and went through to the final against Hai Aldhahir .
Omans Al Watan Newspapers article on the win by Al Taawn
In a very competitive game the single goal was scored by Yahya AlBusafi of Al Taawn . So it’s probably the only time Arabesque will overcome the might of Toyota – as we sponsor the winning team and they the losers.

Looks like a winning side
The younger players of Arabesque’s sponsored team, Al Taawn , had a friendly competition during Ramadhan .
The Ref - in a DishDash
Plenty of passion but really just a league between the neighbourhood. Of course medals wouldn’t go amiss so some nice Gold and Silver ones were purchased with a very clever glass inlay and two cups for display.

‘The Co-operation Team’ (Al Taawn), the football team we sponsor, were at a disadvantage playing against the Island Falcons – it was an away game. Both teams are from Quriyat – but the game was on the The Island’s Falcons own pitch .
‘Al Taawn’ the team Arabesque sponsors
With good attacking players the Island’s Falcons managed to do what all teams playing at home should do – they won and unfortunately Al Taawn are out of the tournament
It was a good lesson for Al Taawn, attackers are the way to win.
The Club Cup later in the year will hopefully see Al Taawn at least reach the top two.

Phew – what a gripping Gulf Cup match – Oman had a good first half but weren’t able to finish their goal attempts; through to the second half and still no score, nail biting indeed. On to extra time, first 15mins, nothing, second 15 still nothing – and on to penalties. 5 goals each, and then – the Saudi missed and Oman’s Mohammed Al-Noobi got into the net – a win ; and in MHO a well deserved win. Just after the match – its a holiday on Sunday was announced.
We are the Champions
On to the Corniche and a memorable sight of so many delirious people, so happy that after over 30 years and being in 3 finals Oman has the Gulf Cup.
Poor team though – they have another International on Monday; we passed their bus going back to Al Bustan at 01.30am – a long day and I bet a sleepless night.
