In his comments, Mr Mirwais Azizi said: “The Dubai World Cup Carnival, Racing at Meydan, and especially the subsequent Dubai World Cup, excite all of us at Azizi Developments every year. Especially in times like these, an event where communities can come together, with proper health precautions being taken and adhered to, to rejoice in hope and passion for a sport that is deeply rooted in the UAE’s heritage, is truly a touching experience for all who value not only equestrianism, but also the feeling of togetherness. We are absolutely delighted to sponsor this meet for the fourth year running, one that truly raises the bar for excellence every year, and we will continue to support high-profile events that put this great emirate – a global leader in both business and tourism - on the world stage.”

“We congratulate the very talented winners of today’s races and look forward to a new dawn of hope, success and progress”, he continued.
