PDO Managing Director Brian Ward showing the new Transformation Trophy in front of the new Sports Hall

On 10th September 1998, Brian Ward officially opened the new RAHRC Sports Hall, named Mujamma (Al Riyadah). The Sports Hall is a major milestone in the history of the Ras Al Hamra Club and special credits were expressed to (former) Sports Secretary Sven Kramer for managing the project to its successful end. There were various exciting events on the opening day making it a very successful (family) event. The hall is now fully operational and can be booked for sports and for the Transformation Trophy.
