H.H. Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, President of the General Sports Authority, and President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, presented his trophy to Mr. Tariq Al Saffar, Chairperson of BBK, during the tenth race of the horse racing season organized by Rashid Equestrian and Horse Racing Club on Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19.

 

The event also highlighted the awarding of the distinguished Manama Cup, with Mr. Tariq Al Saffar, Chairperson of BBK, presenting the trophy to the winning owner. Proudly sponsored by BBK, the Manama Cup underscores the Bank’s unwavering commitment to supporting national sporting events and preserving Bahrain’s rich equestrian heritage.

 

On this occasion, Mr. Tariq Al Saffar stated that BBK places great emphasis on supporting the sports sector, particularly equestrian sports. Sponsoring the Manama Cup reflects this commitment, which extends to BBK’s sponsorship of the Bahrain Turf Series Cup, as well as the Bahrain Mile, one of the most prominent races on the Kingdom’s horse racing calendar, held during the prestigious Crown Prince’s Cup Raceday.

 

Mr. Al Saffar added that BBK’s continued support demonstrates its commitment to advancing equestrian sports and reinforcing their position as an integral part of Bahrain’s sporting and national heritage. He also extended his gratitude to Rashid Equestrian and Horse Racing Club and congratulated all participants and winners for their outstanding competitive performances.
