The second promotional activity Ooredoo is organising is an Instagram Competition where Ooredoo will ask fans to post a picture and write down a slogan or sentence about their favourite football club that is participating in the tournament and hashtag the word #EmirCup2014. Best pictures with best slogans/sentence will be chosen by Ooredoo, and then Instagrammers will be asked to vote for the best one. Winners will get their slogan/sentence and favourite club’s photo printed on T-shirts and given to them.
