Burgan Bank has sponsored the seventh competition of the Kuwait Equestrian Federation (KEF) Tour for the 2022-2023 showjumping season, which was held at the Kuwait Riding Center (KRC) venue. The sponsorship of KEF’s competition reflects the Bank’s commitment to continue promoting and reinforcing the sports culture in Kuwait, in line with its comprehensive social responsibility program.

On the first day of the league’s seventh competition, equestrian Ali Al Khorafi was able to take first place, followed by the equestrians Abdulrahman Alfuzae and Abdullah Alawadhi in second and third places, respectively. On the second day, equestrian Abdullah Alroudan won first place, followed by Ghazi Al Jeraiwi in second and Ali Al Khorafi in third.

Speaking about the Bank’s sponsorship of the tour, Mr. Qutaibah Ahmad Al-Rabe, Head of Digital and Marketing Communications at Burgan Bank, said: "On behalf of Burgan Bank, I would like to congratulate all the winners of this round who keep proving to be brilliant role models for the next generation. At Burgan Bank, we are always eager to help develop the wealth of sports talent in Kuwait, especially in the field of equestrianism that is rooted in our cultural identity and heritage.”

Mr. Al-Rabe added: “Under the umbrella of the Bank’s social responsibility program, we encourage and motivate talented athletes and younger generations to engage in various sporting activities. Accordingly, we reaffirm our pledge to continue offering our support to aspiring athletes, sports organizations and official national bodies to help elevate the status of sports in Kuwait and drive excellence across the sector.”

It is worth noting that Burgan Bank’s sponsorship of the KEF tour began in 2021. The ongoing sponsorship and strategic partnership come as part of the Bank’s expansive social responsibility program, a big portion of which focuses on promoting and reinforcing the sports culture in Kuwait.
