The UAE President's Cup reaches its 15th stop in Warsaw, according to the Emirates News Agency, or WAM. The race is set for Służewiec on 27 September 2026. WAM calls it the final European stage of the 33rd edition.
The meeting features the 33rd edition of كأس صاحب السمو رئيس الدولة للخيول العربية الأصيلة alongside the Central European Derby for Arabian horses. That puts the Cup's European finale on a major date in Poland's Arabian racing calendar.
WAM lists the scheduled start as 19:42 UAE time.
Eleven runners face a 2,000-metre test
The Group 3 race is for four-year-old purebred Arabian horses. They will run 2,000 metres on turf for a €200,000 prize fund. The purse is €200,000.
WAM names two Qatari horses among the main contenders: Farouq Al Shahaniya and Qadah. Farouq Al Shahaniya runs under the colours of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani. Qadah represents Wathnan Racing. Libya's entries are Ghazan du Soleil, Arctic de Teez and Mehdi du Breuil.
Three Libyan horses are in the field. That gives the European finale an international mix.
A finale within a wider Arabian horse calendar
The Warsaw meeting follows a European sequence that has featured leading Arabian horses at several prominent tracks. In Benghazi, a planned beauty championship represents another part of the sport. Read more in Libya event coverage.
