Burgan Bank’s support of the championship highlights its role in advancing the national sports community and the importance of recognizing local talents who also seek to pursue their hobbies.

Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a leading Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the community.
