QREC Chairman Thanks Qatar’s Leadership for Continued Support

The Chairman of the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC), Hamad bin Abdulrahman Al Attiyah, has extended heartfelt appreciation to Qatar’s leadership for their unwavering support in driving forward the nation’s horse racing goals.

“Thanks to Qatar’s leadership, we remain committed to preserving Qatar’s proud heritage and reinforcing its leadership on the world stage,” said Al Attiyah.

Under his stewardship, QREC continues to champion Qatar’s role in the global racing arena, focusing particularly on the pure Arabian breed, which resonates deeply with the national identity and reflects centuries-old equestrian traditions.

“Our vision and strategy are clear: to promote Qatar as a world hub for horse racing and as a leader in the pure Arabian breed. This is not just an aspiration, but a national commitment that reflects our heritage, our values and our ambition to stand among the best in the global racing community,” he added.

This season is especially meaningful as QREC commemorates its 50th anniversary, launching a Golden Jubilee identity to honor five decades of strong progress and achievement in the equestrian discipline.

“We celebrate the Club’s proud heritage and the contributions of all who’ve helped shape its success including owners, trainers, jockeys, sponsors and the broader equestrian community,” Al Attiyah emphasized.

He also recognized the instrumental efforts of the Ministry of Sports in advancing QREC’s visibility and performance at both national and global levels, pointing to hallmark racing events such as the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, which continues to elevate Qatar’s profile internationally.

“Their guidance and backing have helped elevate Qatar’s global standing in the sport.”
