Muscat: In a first-of-its-kind spotlight on school spirit, the TAS Inter-School Badminton Tournament 2025 will not only celebrate young shuttlers but also honour the loudest, liveliest and most spirited cheerleading team.

The inaugural TAS Inter-School Badminton Tournament 2025 has recorded a remarkable response, with schools across the Sultanate signing up in record numbers for the two-day championship scheduled on November 21 and 22 from 8 am onwards. Organised by The Arabian Stories (TAS) in collaboration with Morning Stars Badminton Club and hosted at Kosmos Badminton Academy in Wadi Kabir, the event promises high-energy rallies both on and off the court.

Gold Sponsors Nataraj have announced a dedicated award for the best cheerleading school team, who will walk away with an exclusive Nataraj gift hamper.

The tournament has also secured strong backing from its Automotive Partner Hyundai, along with a robust lineup of Associate Sponsors including Supa Sportsman, Modern Business Enterprise LLC, Oman Refreshments, Easy Store & Easy Care, Cumin Caterings, Kosmos Badminton Academy, and Maple Graphics.

While the courts will witness intense action across boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles in the Under-13 and Under-17 categories, the stands are expected to buzz with creative chants, coordinated moves, and spirited displays as cheerleading teams attempt to outperform one another for the coveted prize.
