(MENAFN- The Peninsula) For the eighth time in a row, Total employees and families competed in individual and team sport events for months as part of the annual 'Total Cup' tournament.
More than 300 participants formed four teams for healthy competitions, which concluded with the 'Red team' winning with 41 points.
The runner-up was the Blue team as well as Navy and Orange teams. The four represent Total's official colours.
Competitions started with Total Olympics during National Sport Day to promote physical health and healthy competitive spirit.
It promotes benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle through sporting activities and serves as a tool for unity in common competition.
Other events included tennis during Qatar Total Open, football, bowling, badminton, table tennis and basket ball.
The Red team was awarded the championship trophy, passed on from last year's Blue team. Individual winners of each of seven competitions were also awarded medals and trophies. To promote a spirit of fair competition, several employees were awarded for commitment to fair play and help.
"Sport plays an important role in the social development of our employees and their families, as we see so many employees and families working as a common unit regardless of differences. This has been very successful in the integration of our present and new employees," said Christophe Eon, Vice-President, HR, Communications and CSR, a part of Total Cup organising division.
Guillaume Chalmin, Managing Director, Total E&P Qatar, and Group Representative, added: "It has been a pleasure to see sportsmanship and competitive spirit of men, women and children enjoying the competitions over the last few months. The games stand for fairness, integrity, responsibility and respect and help build respect and trust between participants which has positive effects in the workplace. The end result is not to win, but to work together and give it our all."
The excitement of the competitions continues, as Total has partnered with Aspetar for 'Step into Health' programme, challenging participants to walk a minimum number of steps which is added to the team's total scores.
