El Basha and Bin Drai qualified to the championship match of the UAE Polo Federation Cup and will go head-to-head to claim the title at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club. Meanwhile, and prior to the main final, Bhansali and Lamar will go for the Subsidiary Cup. Following the EMAAR Cup, in January, the UAE Federation Cup is the second most significant competition within the 2024 calendar of the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club.
It is worth to note that Bin Drai secured the first spot in the final, after winning all three matches; instead, El Basha and Bansali decided the second place in the final through a penalty shotoout, when Ricardo Garrós sealed the deal and secured the ticket to El Basha.
The final of the UAE Polo Federation Cup is set to be played on Sunday February 25.
