The KEF Tour was joined by tens of athletes representing local clubs

 

The company is proud to continue supporting this exciting local sport event since its inception. The competition was organized by the Kuwait Equestrian Federation (KEF) in collaboration with the Kuwait Olympic Committee and Public Authority for Sports. Every year, it is joined by tens of showjumping athletes representing local clubs, along with crowds of equestrian enthusiasts.

Zain’s presence in this event also stems from its strategic goals to support, grow, and develop the local sports and youth sectors. The company is a fervent believer in the exceptional talents of Kuwait’s young athletes, many of whom are passionate about equestrian sports that are deep rooted in the Kuwaiti, Arab, and Islamic identities.

The KEF Third Showjumping Tour, which kicked-off late last year, featured eight rounds, with each round’s activities being held over a period of two days. The tour also featured several 2-star and 3-star international competitions. Hundreds of showjumpers from Kuwait’s public and private equestrian clubs competed in the thrilling competitions.
