Dubai, UAE, 17 July 2017: Azizi Developments, a fast growing real estate developer operating in the UAE for over a decade, successfully concluded its support and participation of the Toscana Endurance Lifestyle 2017 in Italy, where it reinforced the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to grow endurance riding and equestrian sport in the region and around the world.

Five races were scheduled over a span of two days, with a record breaking number of 516 riders from 43 countries competing for the richest prize value in its history in Europe, of 1,000,000 euros. With extraordinary support from HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum since its inception in 1998, the race has grown from an economic contributor, to a high-profile global event that attracts some of the best talent from around the world. 

Mirwais Azizi, Chairman of Azizi Developments said: “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Meydan and support endurance riding as it underlines the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to further equestrian sports in the UAE and around the world. Azizi Developments is at the forefront of innovation extending beyond the conventional realms of our business and we remain committed to supporting world class international events along with our key partners, Meydan.”

Saeed Humaid Al Tayer, Chairman and CEO of the Meydan Group said: “We are proud to be associated with such a high profile international sporting event under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and in partnership with Azizi Developments. His Highness has played a pioneering role in encouraging endurance riding in the UAE and we are now witnessing its success in international markets as well. We are confident the sport will continue to grow and become even more inclusive over the next few years and as key sponsors, we will continue to lend it our unwavering support.”

Azizi Developments has been instrumental in developing some of the most outstanding properties across Dubai and inspiring community living in upscale locations, including Azizi Riviera at the prestigious Meydan One.
