The polo match opened with a pink sky as dozens of pink balloons were released into the air in sync with a marching band to kick-start the game. The polo match itself featured two strong teams, one of them being led by HH Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It was an intensely captivating, yet fun, match.
Maintaining a family-friendly environment, there were open areas for kids’ entertainment and food. In line with the Pink Polo focus, there were free health checkups and mammogram vouchers organized by the health partners The Pink Caravan, Beverly Hills Medical Clinic and Al Rahba Hospital.
