Oman’s Salam Air airline is organising a special trip for fans who want to cheer Oman’s football team at the semi-finals of the 2017 Arab Gulf Cup of Nations.
The Sultanate’s low-cost airline tweeted the message this evening, with details of the trip to be announced soon.
“Stay tuned! We will shortly announce a special flight to Kuwait to support the national team,” tweeted Salam Air on their official account. “This is a special trip to support the Reds of the national team! We will announce flight details soon!”
Oman made it to the semi-finals following back to back wins over fellow Group A opponents Kuwait (1-0) and Saudi Arabia (2-0), after losing their opening game (0-1) to the United Arab Emirates.
The Sultanate of Oman could face either Bahrain, Qatar or Iraq, with Group B’s final matches being played this evening (29th December 2017).
“Congratulations to the national team for qualifying for the semi-finals!” Salam Air had previously tweeted. “We’re proud of you!”
Congratulatory messages of support came from the Sultan of Oman, HH Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said and HH Sheikh Shamsaldin Qais Sulayman Al-Said.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
