Polo Royalty and Pop Stars Descend on Dubai for The Legacy Cup

Dubai’s social elite will gather on November 21 for The Legacy Cup Dubai 2025, where equestrian tradition meets modern luxury in an unprecedented collaboration between Polo Xperience and Berin Iglesias Art.

Led by Captain Rommy Gianni, the Monte-Carlo Polo Team - three-time St. Moritz champions – faces the Mahra Polo Team and the Habtoor Polo Team at Al Habtoor Polo Club. The 3:30 pm match promises elegant athleticism and serious competition, with Mohammed Al Habtoor captaining the Habtoor squad and his brother Rashed Al Habtoor leading Mahra.

For Gianni, this return to Dubai is particularly meaningful. “My first visit was in 1996, when the Al Habtoor family invited me for polo,” he recalls. “It marked the beginning of a lasting friendship and shared passion that continues today.”

As the official partner of The Legacy Cup Dubai, Caroli Group Monaco brings its legacy of luxury real estate and event excellence to the UAE. Founded by engineer Antonio Caroli in the late 1970s, the group has shaped Monaco’s urban landscape through subsidiaries Caroli Immo and Caroli Bat, creating landmark luxury residences, hotels, and commercial spaces.

Their communications arm, Caroli Com Group, established in 1988, operates a sophisticated network of specialized entities: Caroli Régie handles advertising management, Caroli Expo manages exhibition installation and furniture rental, Caroli Sécurité Privée provides comprehensive security, Caroli Print delivers digital printing solutions, alongside Caroli Prod and Caroli Média. This integrated approach ensures flawless execution for major international events.

The afternoon flows seamlessly from sport to socializing, with aperitivo and a DJ set at 5:30 pm, followed by the polo prize-giving ceremony at 8:00 pm. Then guests move to Billionaire Dubai at Mandarin Oriental Downtown for the Big Art Festival Dubai gala dinner, where Russian pop sensation Zivert takes center stage with her chart-topping hit “Life.”

Behind this glittering evening stands Berin Iglesias Art, one of the world’s premier luxury event organizers. Producing over 250 high-profile gatherings annually across Monaco, Courchevel, London, Dubai, and beyond, the company has worked with an extraordinary roster of international talent: Robbie Williams, Sting, Enrique and Julio Iglesias, Andrea Bocelli, Gregory Porter, Rita Ora, Maluma, Jamiroquai, Will Smith, and Jason Derulo.

“We are truly excited about this collaboration,” says Maxim Berin, president of Berin Iglesias Art and founder of the Big Art Festival. “It marks the beginning of a new chapter at this remarkable Billionaire venue, bringing together sport, art, and luxury lifestyle on an unprecedented scale.”

The venue itself – Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire Dubai - promises what the brand calls “The Ultimate Dinner Show,” combining world-class gastronomy with entertainment and vibrant after-dinner experiences since its creation in 1998.

Polo Xperience aims to establish an International Polo Circuit across Dubai, Monaco, and Courchevel, merging sport, luxury lifestyle, and cultural diplomacy. The driving force behind The Legacy Cup Dubai polo event envisions a bridge between heritage and innovation for global elites, redefining the sport through sophistication and glamour.
