Azizi Developments sponsors 7th meeting of the Dubai Racing Carnival

Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, sponsored the seventh meeting of the Dubai Racing Carnival on Friday, January 16th, at the Meydan Racecourse, covering all eight races. Building on its long-standing 9-year partnership with the Dubai Racing Club, this commitment also aligns with the developer’s presence in MBR City, where it is delivering a major master-planned community in Meydan.

The evening’s racing action was led by the G2 Cape Verdi, one of the most prestigious contests for fillies and mares on the Dubai Racing Carnival calendar, which was claimed last year by Choisya. Supporting the headline race is the Vazirabad Handicap, a demanding 2,410-metre test named after the three-time G2 Dubai Gold Cup winner and a key fixture of the night. On the dirt, the spotlight also fell on the Cocoa Beach Stakes, featuring three-year-old fillies competing over 1,600 metres, adding further depth and excitement to the eight-race card at Meydan Racecourse.

Mr. Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Group, said: “Our continued support of the Dubai Racing Carnival reflects our long-standing partnership with the Dubai Racing Club and our respect for a sport that holds deep cultural significance in the UAE. Equestrian excellence is an integral part of the nation’s heritage, and this platform brings together communities, athletes, and audiences from around the world. Through our involvement, we are proud to contribute to an event that reinforces Dubai’s position as a global hub for sport, culture, and world-class experiences.”

His Excellency Ali Al Ali, CEO and Board Member, Dubai Racing Club, welcomed the support from Azizi, saying: “We looked forward to welcoming the Azizi team back to Meydan Racecourse on Friday for an exciting evening of racing, headlined by the G2 Cape Verdi - one of our most significant races for fillies and mares.”

“Azizi have been important partners with Dubai Racing Club for several seasons, also sponsoring the G1 Azizi Developments Al Quoz Sprint at the Dubai World Cup meeting. We thank them once again for their support.”

Riviera is part of Azizi Developments’ award-winning portfolio. It is a stylish waterfront lifestyle destination that comprises 75 mid- and high-rise buildings with approximately 16,000 residences.

Designed to introduce the French-Mediterranean lifestyle to Dubai, which is not merely about architectural art but also about a certain ‘joie de vivre’ - a celebration of life, an exultation of spirit, Riviera represents a new landmark destination that is both residential and commercial, with an abundance of retail space. Riviera features three districts: an extensive retail boulevard, a lagoon walk on the shores of its 2.7 km-long swimmable crystal lagoon with artisan eateries and boutiques, and Les Jardins - a vast, lush-green social space.

With its strategic location near the upcoming Meydan One Mall and the Meydan Racecourse - home of the Dubai World Cup - as well as Dubai’s most noteworthy points of interest, Riviera represents one of Azizi Developments’ most coveted projects.
