On Friday, the magnificent British Polo Day Dubai returns to the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club – the birthplace of British Polo Day and the setting for its very first event in 2009. Hosts, the Habtoor family, will welcome an anticipated 450 VIP guests for a day of camel, Brompton bicycle and traditional polo! Meanwhile guests will soak-up the sunshine pitch-side.
A firm fixture on the sporting and social calendar, British Polo Day Dubai falls on the first day of the region’s biggest equine weekend – that of the 20th Anniversary of the Dubai World Cup Races.

First on the pitch, marking the occasion will be the members of the elite Cavalry & Guards regiments of the British Army who will take on one another in the Hackett Camel Polo Trophy. Next up will be the Brompton Bicycle Polo, followed by the Royal Salute Oxbridge team taking on their regional rivals, the Gulf polo team in the Falcon Cup. The final match – the British Polo Day Dubai Cup, presented by Land Rover – sees the Hackett British Exiles take on hosts and generous patrons, Habtoor Polo.
Tom Hudson, Co-Founder of British Polo Day: “We are delighted that the British Polo Day series has become a global platform that celebrates the history and heritage of polo whilst also raising significant amounts for good causes.”
