We’re proud to share a historic milestone for both Polo Valley and the sport of polo.
For a month, Polo Valley had the privilege of hosting the first-ever training camp for the Qatar National Polo Team at our club. In partnership with Qatar Polo Club, we welcomed a hand-selected group of Qatar’s most promising equestrian athletes — introducing them to the game of polo in a setting built for excellence and growth.
It was a month of learning, culture, passion — and the beginning of something truly special.
This marks a defining step in Qatar’s vision to expand the sport of polo on both a national and international level. Over several weeks, our team of professional coaches guided the riders through immersive training—blending world-class instruction, high-performance horses, and the unique Polo Valley experience.
“At Polo Valley, we believe in building the future of polo by creating opportunities that unite sport, community, and global vision. Supporting new generations of talent is one part of that vision — and it’s been a true honour to witness the passion, discipline, and drive of these riders from Qatar. Welcoming the Qatar team wasn’t just a privilege, it offered a powerful glimpse into what the future of polo can be.”

The training camp not only represented a cultural and sporting exchange — it reflected our shared belief that polo can inspire, connect, and shape the future of sport in bold new ways.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ashraf Abuissa, Fuad, Sleh, Ahmed, Ziad, and the entire team whose trust and vision made this collaboration possible. Your energy, hard-work and commitment transformed this experience into something unforgettable.
This is more than a moment — it’s a connection built on mutual respect, and a love for the game.
Here’s to the first step in a long journey. This is just the beginning.
