Pink Polo, which was launched three
years ago, is designed to raise breast cancer awareness among both men and
women in the UAE community through a unique sporting initiative.

“It is always gratifying when we are
able to throw open our gates and invite the community to come and share in our
love of polo,” he said. “It is even more satisfying when we are supporting such
an important cause and we are proud to be hosting Pink Polo since the very
beginning of the concept.”
The players have been putting in the
hours on the training pitch to prepare for the season-opening match.
“We have been training hard for this
match,” said ADCB’s Colombres. “It is the first event on the Ghantoot Racing
& Polo Club calendar and everybody wants to make a good start to the
season.” He continued: “Pink Polo always gets a big crowd and its great to play
in front of thousands of people and for such a good cause.”
Bin Desmal said the plan was to play
open polo. “No matter how many practice chukkers you play, there is
no substitute for playing together as a team, so we are looking forward to
getting out there,” he said. “We have been working on playing the open, fluid
brand of polo that has helped us to success in the past.”
Pink Polo founder, Carrie McNeill
said: “As the region’s largest family sport event, Pink Polo is a unique
concept which supports breast cancer awareness by attracting all members of the
family. HH Sheikh Falah Bin Zayed Al Nayan has once again
ensured that the field and ponies are in top condition and we all hope that as
many people as possible from the UAE community will come along.”
