HORSERACING – RASHID Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC) announced yesterday the renewal of REHC’s sponsorship agreement with Cebarco, naming Cebarco as official sponsor of the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s Cup as part of the HRH the Crown Prince’s Cup Festival and as platinum sponsor of the Bahrain Turf Series for the 2025-26 horseracing season.
This renewal is part of the ongoing partnership between REHC and Cebarco, and it reflects the club’s commitment to strengthening ties with private sector institutions and supporting the continued development of seasonal races and international championships hosted by the kingdom.
The HRH the Crown Prince’s Cup is regarded as one of the most prominent races on the horseracing calendar, having built a distinguished reputation over the years through the participation of elite imported horses alongside consistently high organisational standards.
These achievements have qualified the race for Group Three international classification, underscoring the remarkable development of Bahraini horseracing and its advancement in line with internationally recognised standards.
The agreement was signed by REHC CEO Yusuf Osama Buheji and Cebarco and Khalid Abdulrahim Group executive director Mohammed Khalid Abdulrahim, in the presence of Cebarco chairman and Khalid Abdulrahim Group CEO Dr Khalid Mohammed Abdulrahim.
Buheji commended the prominent role played by Cebarco in supporting and sponsoring major horseracing events and championships, particularly its continued sponsorship of the HRH the Crown Prince’s Cup for the third consecutive season, in addition to its support of the Bahrain Turf Series.
He noted that this ongoing commitment plays a key role in the success of these major sporting events and contributes to enhancing the kingdom’s standing on the international horseracing stage.
Buheji further emphasised that the club’s continued success in hosting international championships – and the positive impact of these events on the advancement of both local and international races – has contributed to expanding REHC’s network of partners and attracting a wider base of sponsoring companies and institutions. This forms part of the club’s broader efforts to further develop and elevate horseracing in the kingdom.
For his part, Dr Abdulrahim expressed his pride in the company’s continued involvement in these major events. He affirmed that this co-operation reflects Cebarco’s commitment to supporting equestrian sports and horseracing in Bahrain, which continues to witness qualitative development under the vision and significant efforts of the REHC High Committee, chaired by Prime Minister’s Court Minister Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
These efforts, he noted, have contributed to strengthening the kingdom’s position on the international horseracing scene.
