Following a 3-3 draw, the game went to a penalty shoot-out. İspak Ambalaj defeated Assan Hanil in the penalty shoot-out, becoming the champions of the football tournament.
“Success is a team sport, just like life”
As part of his speech at the Kibar Group Sports Festival, Kibar Holding CEO Tamer Saka said that it was the end of a two-month marathon and he thanked the athletes who competed in the events as well as the employees and their families who attended the games as spectators. Stating that this was the second time this organization was held following the first-ever festival last year, Tamer Saka said, “We create sustainable value in this field, just like we do in any other field. We are aware that both success and life are team sports. That’s why we never forget how valuable the energy that sports offer is for our bodies, minds and souls sports.”
“I think the best thing would be to describe the result of the events with the happiness of doing the best we can, instead of with victories and defeats,” said Tamer Saka. “Most importantly, we must never forget that the game is not over until the whistle is blown.”
Kibar Holding employees, who attended the festival with their families, enjoyed themselves with the concerts while having their meal with the delicious sauces provided by Assan Gıda, one of the companies of the Group.
