ABQ partners with the Oman Padel Committee

Muscat: ABQ Education Group is proud to announce the start of a strategic partnership with the Oman Padel Committee. This collaboration establishes the new Padel Youth Centre at ABQ Azzan Bin Qais International School in Madinat Sultan Qaboos, marking a significant step in supporting the rapid growth of one of Oman’s fastest-growing sports.

The Youth Centre will serve as a national hub for identifying and developing young Omani athletes, offering structured training pathways for boys and girls aged 6 to 18. Led by certified coaches from the Oman Padel Committee, the programme aims to nurture future talent for the Oman Youth Padel National Teams.

ABQ Education Group Chief Executive Officer, Ali Asgar Shroff, said, “This partnership reflects ABQ’s ongoing commitment to providing outstanding opportunities for young people in Oman. By hosting the Padel Youth Centre on our campus, we are taking part in both sport and national talent development, while giving our students and the wider community access to high-quality coaching infrastructure and pathways to excellence."

The first initiative under the partnership will be a dedicated kick-off tournament for Omani nationals aged 12 to 18, taking place from 18–20 December 2025, followed by a full evaluation and training schedule beginning in January 2026.

Adil Anwar Ali Sultan, Head of National Teams & Youth Development at the Oman Padel Committee, said: “We are thrilled to partner with ABQ Education Group in establishing the Padel Youth Centre. This initiative provides a vital platform for young Omanis to develop their skills, gain structured training and aspire to represent the nation at the highest level. Together, we are nurturing the next generation of Padel champions and reinforcing Oman’s position on the regional and global sporting stage."

This agreement further strengthens ABQ’s long-standing dedication to youth empowerment, community partnerships and the holistic development of students across all its schools.
