The Al Habtoor Polo Club was beautifully adorned in pink for the seventh edition of the Ladies Charity Cup 2025, held in proud partnership with the Al Jalila Foundation. In an inspiring display of talent and teamwork, PBS emerged victorious over Invictus to claim the championship title.
This year’s prize-giving ceremony took a special turn — every woman from both teams received a Winning Trophy, symbolizing unity and celebrating the true purpose of the event: supporting the fight against breast cancer.
