[blockquote cite=”Niaz A Malik, Executive Director Strategy, Corporate Sales and ESS, ZONG”] Sports and ZONG enjoy a good relationship, which is growing stronger day-by-day. Through our strategic partnership with Manchester United, we are the leading corporate supporter of football in the country. As a cricket loving nation we have been sponsors of domestic T20 cricket and Pakistan and Australia series in the past. Though we have previously partnered with traditional polo tournaments in Shandur twice but this time it is an honor for us to be part of the professional polo, ‘the game of the kings’. We are seriously looking at greatly enhancing our support to this great game
[/blockquote]

Zong is playing a great role in promoting sports; We can see that by promoting the tournament Zong is contributing to the development of Polo.
The National Open Polo Championship was started back in 1963 and this year’s occasion will be the 50th version of the national polo championship.
