HFC to sport Continental Hospitals logo on their jerseys for 2024-25 season, aim to promote Health & Sports in the Community
Hyderabad, October 28, 2024: In a landmark collaboration aimed at promoting health and sports within the Hyderabad community, Continental Hospitals and Hyderabad Football Club (HFC) announced their partnership at a press conference on October 28, 2024. The event featured key figures including Dr. Guru N Reddy, Founder and Chairman of Continental Hospitals, Mr. Raghu N Reddy, Director of Continental Hospitals, and Dhruv Sood, CEO of HFC, and showcased the unveiling of the HFC team jersey prominently featuring the Continental logo.
This partnership signifies both organizations’ unwavering commitment to fostering health, wellness, and sporting excellence.
Dr. Guru N Reddy remarked, “This partnership is not just about football; it’s about building a healthier community. Together, we can elevate the standards of sporting health and wellness for our youth. We recognize that, on average, a player sustains two injuries per season, leading to approximately 50 injuries in a team of 25. The most common injuries are muscle strains, ligament sprains, and contusions, with an injury incidence of 6.6 injuries per 1,000 hours in men’s professional football. Alarmingly, more than 50% of players have suffered at least one injury over the past 12 months during both training and matches, with around 6–8% experiencing more than three injuries. Our Sports Center is equipped with sports medicine-trained physicians and comprehensive rehab facilities, including aqua therapy, robotic gait training, and much more to support these athletes effectively.”
