Four football fans who won Ooredoo’s “Stand For Good” competition had the chance to meet Lionel Messi in Barcelona.

The fans won the online strategy game which asked players to digitally capture a football pitch in locations across Ooredoo’s footprint and then hold the pitch for 12 hours.

The four winners, who came from Palestine, Oman, Qatar and The Maldives,were also treated to the opportunity to see Messi in action in a match in Barcelona the following day.

During the campaign, around 780,000 users visited Ooredoo’s dedicated gaming microsite http://standforgood.com, and more than 14,000 players took part, with 1,320 pitches successfully held.

Most importantly, the campaign brought international attention to Ooredoo’s CSR initiatives, including its work with the Leo Messi Foundation on the Mobile Health Clinic programme, which provides healthcare services for remote areas in Indonesia, Myanmar, Algeria, and Tunisia.
