The participants at the tennis tournament organised by ILTA Qatar to celebrate Eid Al Fitr.
During the celebration of Eid Al Fitr 1440 H, Indonesian have a unique tradition known as ‘Halal Bi Halal’. This tradition drives people to meet and forgive each other.
Indonesian tennis players in Qatar would also like to preserve this noble heritage.
On June 6, 2019, Indonesian Lawn Tennis Association in Qatar (ILTA Qatar), supported by the Labor Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy in Qatar, held the tennis tournament with theme event: “Halal Bi Halal Indonesian Migrant Workers Tennis Tournament”.
A total of 28 players came from different regions such as Al Khor, Mesaieed, Wakra and Doha gather round in Ritz Carlton’s Indoor tennis court to play tennis as well as do the Halal Bi Halal.
Resonating the theme, the main purpose of this tournament was to strengthen the bond within Indonesian tennis players in Qatar, whereas winning the trophies was just a bonus to keep everyone motivated.
This tournament was also attended by Chairman of the Indonesian Community Association in Qatar (PERMIQA), Prihandoko and the Indonesian Ambassador to Qatar, Muhammad Basri Sidehabi, who delivered a speech as well as presenting trophies to the winners.
