The partnership agreement will see ExxonMobil Qatar continue as the Main Sponsor of both CHI Al Shaqab and Qatar Equestrian Tour - Longines Hathab.

“ExxonMobil is proud to extend its partnership with Al Shaqab and support for its outstanding facilities and events that are internationally recognized in the equestrian world,” said Dominic Genetti, ExxonMobil Qatar’s President and General Manager.
“Horses are beloved and embraced in Qatar, and hold a cultural significance for the local community – we’re honoured to help continue the traditions associated with them through our long-standing partnership with Al Shaqab. Driven by the human development pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and our commitment to educational development, we’re also pleased to support Al Shaqab’s programs to provide an engaging learning environment for aspiring riders,” he added.
“I would like to thank ExxonMobil Qatar for its strong partnership over the years, and for extending its support for our work and mission for the next five years,” said Khalifa Al Attiya, Al Shaqab executive director.
“We’re proud to have created a successful environment at Al Shaqab in which to enhance and celebrate equestrian sport, and with the help of our valued partners, we’re pleased to be developing a world-class destination in Qatar to showcase equestrian events,” he added.
ExxonMobil Qatar’s association with Al Shaqab falls under the umbrella of an established partnership with Qatar Foundation (QF) that first began in 2010. In 2020, ExxonMobil and QF took this partnership to a new level with an agreement that was built on their decade-long relationship, a shared vision for long-term sustainability, and a commitment to helping fulfil the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
ExxonMobil Qatar’s projects and initiatives with QF include: The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), Education Above All, Pre-University Education Center, and Your Health First, among others.
