The Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) and Al Hazm, of Al Emadi Enterprises, will continue their fruitful partnership that has been running for 11 years now, as the latter was announced as a partner of His Highness The Amir Sword race, the Festival finale on Saturday.

The collaboration between QREC and Al Emadi Enterprises has seen the company become a major and active partner in top racing events associated with QREC, both in Qatar and overseas.

QREC Chairman HE Issa bin Mohamed al-Mohannadi lauded the extended collaboration between the two organisations.

“I would like to thank Mr Mohamed Abdulkarim al-Emadi, CEO of Al Emadi Enterprises, for his constant keenness to participate in the sponsorship of the His Highness The Amir Sword Festival,” he said.

“QREC and Al Emadi Enterprises have been teaming up for a successful partnership over 11 years. There is no question that their continued support brings about multiple benefits and represents a positive contribution to the success of the mega event, which we look forward to every year.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented circumstances worldwide and naturally affected the preparations for the Festival and will continue to do so during its three days. However, such circumstances make us only more determined to overcome any challenges and, eventually, produce a special edition of the His Highness The Amir Sword Festival. The collaboration of sponsors and their support of the Festival will be, therefore, key to the success of invaluable event.

“Of course the Festival will be different this year given the current circumstances. However, the measures in place are aimed to protect everyone involved and produce the Festival to the highest standards of safety. QREC has already made special arrangements befitting the global event and the stature of Qatar’s horseracing.”

Al Emadi Enterprises CEO Mohamed Abdulkarim al-Emadi said, “It is a great honour for us to once again be partners in this race. We do not have any economic considerations in terms of the return of the sponsorship. Our highest honour is to shake hands with His Highness The Amir, as this is the most precious award awaited by all. Our support of His Highness The Amir Sword is our gain as we aim to provide more community service despite the economic conditions that our domestic companies are going through due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Our sponsorship of the activities of QREC comes from our national duty to support sports and the importance of the achievements of Qatar’s equestrian sport. QREC is always known for its achievements and excellent organisation of many races and events locally and abroad. This excellence motivates us to support and sponsor more events. We are proud to sponsor the His Highness The Amir Sword race, which rounds off the prestigious Festival. It is my hope and ambition that the His Highness The Amir Sword Race will be a resounding success. I also wish QREC and its board of directors, horse owners, trainers, jockeys the organising committees and all QREC staff all the best,” he added.

“Al Emadi Enterprises (Al Hazm) is proud of its international contributions in previous years in supporting the Qatar Arabian World Cup and the Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe day in France. Al Emadi Enterprises’ sponsorship of the equestrian sport every year is based on our commitment towards sports and the community in Qatar.”
