Record number of entries for Endurance Cup Festival
dubai — Toscana Endurance Lifestyle is back, held for the third consecutive year at the magnificent San Rossore Estate and the equally unique racetrack by the same name, with two appointments, the first from July 14 to 16 and the second from August 4 to 6, according to a press release.
The highlight of the first meeting is the Italian round of the His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Endurance Cup Festival, for which a record number of entries have already been received from international rider-horse pairings.
Participants have made their way to the stunning Italian region of Tuscany, to prepare for the ultimate endurance challenge. On offer is a record-breaking prize pool of €500,000 from the Meydan Group.
World renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli headlines a star-studded guest list for the festival, inspired by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Azizi Developments, a major Dubai-based real estate developer and Pillar Partners of the Dubai World Cup, will also be sponsoring the Toscana Endurance Lifestyle, as part of its partnership with Meydan that extends to international events.
Azizi Developments has been instrumental in developing some of the most outstanding properties across Dubai and inspiring community living in upscale locations, including the prestigious Meydan One. As partners of Meydan, Azizi is also committed to supporting the growth of equestrian sports, especially endurance riding in the UAE and beyond.”
A key objective of the festival is to consolidate and boost sporting, social and economic ties between Italy, Dubai and the UAE. It is expected to be one of the most awarded equestrian events on the world scene, but also – as in past years – a project that unites endurance riding and a love for horses with tourism and international relations.
Toscana Endurance Lifestyle lays out a unique opportunity to develop business ideas and partnerships with local and international companies, in the backdrop of the excellent opportunities on offer in Italy. The chief goal is to enrich an already thriving relationship between the host nation and the UAE.
