Polo AlMarsa Qatar announced that it received Platinum recognition – the highest accolade – in the Sporting Event, Public Event and B2C Event categories at the internationally recognised MUSE Creative Awards 2026.
The recognition highlights Polo AlMarsa’s excellence in delivering world-class sporting experiences and innovative public events as well as setting new benchmarks for Qatar’s sports industry while reinforcing its influence on the global stage.
Hosted by Qatar Polo Club and organised by MUSE, with leading event management company, Ficher Appelt, the event honoured Argentina and Chile through the Years of Culture partnership, drawing more than 5,500 spectators with thrilling matches, heritage shows and vibrant activations.
Polo AlMarsa Qatar 2025 brought three days of world-class polo, culture and lifestyle to Old Doha Port in December 2025, uniting international stars and Qatari talent in a landmark waterfront showcase.
“Receiving Platinum across all three categories is a powerful endorsement of the vision behind Polo AlMarsa and the collective commitment of our teams and partners,” said Ashraf Abuissa, Chairman of Qatar Polo Club.
“This recognition reflects our ambition to position Qatar as a leading global destination for polo and premium sporting experiences, while celebrating our cultural identity and creating meaningful engagement for the community.
“Through Polo AlMarsa, we are not only elevating the sport of polo in the region, but also building a platform that connects heritage, lifestyle and international excellence. We remain committed to growing this event into a world-class fixture on the global polo calendar that delivers long-term value for Qatar and our partners.”
