Dubai is diversifying its sporting offerings as Chestertons, a renowned real estate advisory services provider, is taking a leap forward in its global expansion efforts. They are introducing Chestertons Polo in the Park Dubai, an event that will debut for the first time in the Middle East.
This initiative is supported by the Dubai Sports Council, and the event will be hosted at the Desert Palm Polo Club on Saturday, 11 November. With over 30 offices in London, UK, Chestertons has been a sponsor of Chestertons Polo in the Park London for over a decade. This event has grown to become the world's largest three-day polo gathering, drawing an annual crowd of more than 30,000 attendees. Now, this significant event is expanding to the Middle East in Dubai.
At present, the first event is on an invitation-only basis, with plans to host annual, public events from next year.
As for the matches, Chestertons Polo in the Park Dubai will showcase two thrilling competitions between teams from the UK and the Middle East. The event will kick off with the England Polo Team facing off against the Northern Data Group Team Dubai, followed by a match between Boadicea The Victorious Team Riyadh and Chestertons Team London.
On this, Salah Mussa, Chairman and Owner of Chestertons Global, said, “Chestertons has proudly supported this exciting form of city polo since it first came to London in 2010. Since then, it has grown in popularity and is now a firm, much-anticipated fixture in London’s summer social and sporting calendar. With our international headquarters in the UAE, bringing our event to Dubai is a natural progression in line with our continued growth in the region and internationally."
