The highly anticipated OSN Cup, an international football tournament launched by OSN, the region’s leading pay-TV network and the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF), will kick off on September 5, 2013 at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 

Featuring the national teams of Saudi Arabia, UAE, New Zealand and Trinidad & Tobago, all the excitement of the OSN Cup will be brought to football fans LIVE on OSN Sports HD and on two free-to-air channels - Saudi TV and Dubai TV. The matches will also be streamed live exclusively on OSN Play, the region’s first online TV viewing platform, so viewers can catch all the action anytime, anywhere. 

Fans can look forward to some thrilling action as star players Saud Kariri, Naif Hazazi and Nasser Al Shamrani from the Saudi team and UAE favourites Ali Khaseif, Omar Abdul Rahman and Ismail Mattar prepare for a sensational win. 

More than 65,000 spectators will cheer their favourite teams in what will be an adrenaline packed two-day tournament. Two semi final matches will take place on Thursday, September 5 followed by two matches on Monday, September 9 where the winners will be announced. 

OSN will also give 72 Saudi children the opportunity to escort their favourite football heroes on to the field. Families who would like to register their kids for this once-in-a-lifetime experience need to sign up at any OSN stand in Riyadh. 

Aimed at inspiring young talent in the Kingdom to hone their skills, the first-of-its-kind OSN Cup underlines OSN’s commitment to provide the ultimate sporting action to viewers in the region. 

The OSN Cup, set to become an annual OSN initiative, is part of the network’s wider plans to roll out several new activities across the Arab world that promote youth engagement and bring the family together for fun entertainment experiences.
