The Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club has officially launched its eagerly awaited 2024-2025 polo season, marking the fifth consecutive year of its esteemed partnership with IFZA, the UAE’s vibrant and international Free Zone Community. This ongoing collaboration highlights both organizations’ shared commitment to establishing Dubai as a premier polo destination, drawing elite players from around the globe for prestigious tournaments.
The partnership was formalized at Al Habtoor Group Headquarters, where Mohammed Al Habtoor, Vice Chairman and CEO of Al Habtoor Group, Founder of the Dubai Polo Gold Cup Series, and President of the UAE Polo Federation, joined Martin G. Pedersen, Chairman of IFZA, to sign the agreement.
Running until April 26, 2025, the season will feature an impressive lineup of competitive tournaments, exhibition matches, and youth polo events, reflecting a synergy between AHPRC and IFZA that continues to elevate polo in the UAE and promote Dubai as a top-tier destination for sport and lifestyle.
Mohammed Al Habtoor spoke about polo’s impressive progress in the region: “Polo has grown remarkably in the Middle East over the past decade. Our dedication to fostering a thriving polo environment has brought in top talent and fostered partnerships that fuel the sport’s growth. It’s thrilling to see the UAE emerging as a significant force on the global polo stage.”
IFZA Chairman Martin Pedersen expressed similar enthusiasm, noting, “This renewed partnership with Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club reflects IFZA’s commitment to supporting local sports and community involvement. This season promises exceptional competition and camaraderie. Over the years, IFZA has become an integral part of Dubai’s sporting community, and we’re excited to welcome talent from around the world for another inspiring season.”
Enhancing the season’s allure, IFZA will expand its acclaimed hospitality experience. Partnering with the Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club, IFZA will launch “Party at the Polo,” opening its exclusive hospitality lounge, previously reserved for VIPs, partners, and media, to the general public. Set within the luxurious Al Habtoor Polo Resort, this new initiative allows guests to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of world-class polo, with gourmet brunches, premium beverages, and exceptional entertainment.
This expanded access to IFZA’s signature hospitality, combined with the partnership’s vision, reinforces Dubai’s growing reputation as a world-class hub where sport, business, and luxury hospitality unite.
