Dubai, UAE – April 7 2025 — Daman Markets, the forex and CFD trading arm of Daman Securities, celebrated a triumphant conclusion to its inaugural racing season with a standout presence at the Dubai World Cup 2025—the crown jewel of the region’s sporting calendar.
As an official racing partner of the Dubai Racing Club (DRC) for the 2024–25 season, Daman Markets maintained a high-profile presence throughout the racing calendar at Meydan Racecourse, culminating in a grand finale that blended financial innovation with equestrian excellence.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum attended the event, reaffirming its stature as one of the most prestigious and culturally significant gatherings in the Middle East.
A Financial Experience Like No Other
At the Daman Markets VIP Suite, the atmosphere was a unique mix of luxury, strategy, and entertainment. Guests were immersed in finance-themed games and challenges that merged market-savvy with racing excitement. From trading trivia to real-time asset prediction contests, every element was curated to inspire engagement and celebrate decision-making under pressure—paralleling both trading and racing.
Prizes included exclusive lifestyle experiences such as Mercedes-Benz off-road driving adventures, private yacht cruises, five-star hotel stays, and funded trading accounts, turning market intuition into tangible rewards.
“Our goal has always been to make finance more engaging, more connected to lifestyle, and more accessible to the region’s growing base of informed investors,” said Samer Mourched, CEO of Daman Markets. “To share that vision during such a landmark event as the Dubai World Cup was a true milestone.”
Industry Voices and Regional Insight
Adding further depth to the evening, the event hosted a high-profile panel discussion featuring some of the MENA region’s most respected business media voices:
- Naoufer Ramoul, Anchor & Producer, Dubai Media Incorporated
- Cyba Audi, Morning Business News Anchor, Asharq News Services
- Lara Habib, Senior Presenter, Al Arabiya
The panel explored shifting market dynamics, investor sentiment in the region, and the increasing role of digital platforms in financial education.
Horse Racing Meets High Finance
The decision to align with horse racing—deeply rooted in Emirati heritage—was strategic. “Racing and trading both require preparation, precision, and the ability to navigate volatility with confidence,” Mourched added. “It’s a natural synergy.”
This season marked the first time a UAE-based broker partnered with the Dubai Racing Club across an entire season, embedding itself within the cultural rhythm of the country’s most iconic sporting tradition.
A Vision Forward
The Dubai World Cup’s closing ceremony featured a record-setting drone show, dazzling guests with a tribute to the legacy of horse racing in the UAE. For Daman Markets, the moment encapsulated a season of innovation and engagement—where finance met culture, and strategy met spectacle.
As the brand sets its sights on regional expansion and deeper engagement with the trading community, the success of this season signals a bold new chapter for how financial institutions can connect, educate, and inspire.
