A sponsorship agreement has been signed between Al Shaqab, member of Qatar Foundation, and ExxonMobil Qatar, which will see the oil and gas company be the main sponsor of the CHI Al Shaqab 2019 event.
ExxonMobil has a long history of being the main sponsor of CHI Al Shaqab, which is the signature event of organisers Al Shaqab, having started supporting the competition in 2013. CHI Al Shaqab 2019, which is the sixth edition of the competition, starts on March 7 and ends on March 9.
“I’m pleased to announce ExxonMobil Qatar’s sponsorship of CHI Al Shaqab 2019. We’re looking forward to the world-class equestrian competition in the magnificent Al Shaqab facilities” said Saleh al Mana, Vice President and Director of Government and Public Affairs for ExxonMobil Qatar.
“Over the years, CHI Al Shaqab has grown more and more popular. We’re proud to support such a culturally significant sport that holds so much meaning for Qataris.
“In 2017, we announced our sponsorship of the Al Shaqab riding academy, and since then, many students have benefitted from the lifelong lessons and leadership skills that are taught there. Education comes in many forms, and it is a strategic priority for us at ExxonMobil Qatar.
“We work hard with our local partners to create learning environments for students that are inspiring, exciting and engaging, and extend beyond traditional classrooms so that we can help build the sustainable, knowledge-based economy the Qatar National Vision 2030 strives to achieve,” he added.
CHI Al Shaqab is the only equestrian competition of its kind in the Middle East and Asia region to be sanctioned by the International Equestrian Federation, and regularly attracts leading riders and horses from around the world to take part.
