Celebrate the successful debut of the region’s first ever football-focused Reality-TV show.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, June 29th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI) and MEMS, which serves from within Choueiri Group as the exclusive media representative of all DMI media, recently co-hosted two vibrant gatherings on Saturday, June 7, 2014, marking the final episode of the hit DMI TV show “The Victorious”. The events witnessed marketing, advertising agency and media industry professionals attending both the show’s Live Studio Grand Finale, along with a subsequent dinner reception, held later on the same evening.

The Live Studio Finale was held at the Dubai Sports City Football Academy, where the performance aspects of the football-focused show has been filmed throughout its 2014 debut season. Guests were welcomed in at 2:30 pm and treated to watching the filming of the entire final episode in front of their eyes, which ran through to 8 pm. The show’s host and Judge Diego Maradona placed in a gripping final episode performance deciding on the finalist.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly “Al Watani” – the now regionally famed Moroccan footballer who walked away with the grand prize of US$ 100,000 in cash and a trial period with Juventus, the acclaimed Italian Football Club.

The star-studded Dinner Reception was hosted at Atmosphere Lounge – Burj Khalifa and kicked-off at 9 pm with even more star studded football legends in attendance than the previous venue. These including, besides Maradona, International football players Michel Salgado (who served as the show’s trainer) and Mohamed Zeidan.

Other key figures in attendance included Mr. Ali Khalifa Ali Al Rumaithi, Deputy COO of TV Dubai Media Incorporated, Mrs. Lena Nahas, Choueiri Group’s Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Jean Pierre Tannous, COO MEMS. All guests were seen mingling, taking photos and enjoying the charged-up atmosphere. Post dinner, a raffle draw was held, and a travel package to the upcoming “El-Classico” Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match for 2 was duly awarded to 1 lucky winner.

Final surprises for the evening included the show’s finalists as well as presenters joining into the evening’s celebrations, reiterating that “The Victorious” was not only celebrating the success of its 1st season, but also promises to deliver even more of its unique blend of football and reality TV to regional audiences in the very near future.
