In a city that thrives on ambition and brilliance, Dubai prepares to host a spectacle where grace meets grandeur — The Legacy Cup. Presented by Polo Xperience in collaboration with Berin Iglesias Art, this exclusive event celebrates the beauty of motion, the power of artistry, and the timeless magnetism of luxury.
On November 21, 2025, Dubai’s Al Habtoor Polo Club will transform into an arena of passion and precision, where tradition and modernity gallop side by side. Later that evening, the celebration continues under the city’s glittering skyline at the Big Art Festival, hosted inside Billionaire Dubai at the Mandarin Oriental Downtown — a seamless transition from the thrill of sport to the poetry of performance.
The Monte-Carlo Polo Team: Monaco’s Timeless Icons
Founded in 2012 by Captain Rommy Gianni, the Monte-Carlo Polo Team embodies everything that defines the sport of kings — discipline, elegance, and the unshakable pursuit of excellence. With three consecutive victories at the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz, the team has etched its name into the chronicles of polo history.
Now, they bring their spirit of competition and camaraderie to Dubai, where they’ll face the formidable Mahra Polo Team, led by Captains Mohammed and Rashed Al Habtoor — icons of Dubai’s equestrian legacy.
Guests will arrive at 3:00 PM, welcomed by the desert’s golden light. The match begins at 3:30 PM, followed by a sophisticated aperitivo and DJ set at 5:30 PM. As evening descends, the event culminates with the Polo Prize Ceremony at 8:00 PM — a tribute to skill, grace, and sportsmanship.
Polo Xperience: A Vision for the Future of Elegance
Polo Xperience is not simply about competition — it’s a movement redefining the soul of polo. It celebrates the art of sport through innovation, creativity, and global connection.
With The Legacy Cup, Polo Xperience continues its mission to elevate polo beyond boundaries — transforming the field into a stage where culture, community, and contemporary luxury converge.
The Big Art Festival: When Night Becomes Performance
As dusk falls, The Legacy Cup evolves into an evening of glamour and rhythm at the Big Art Festival — an exclusive production by Berin Iglesias Art, the creative powerhouse behind some of the world’s most illustrious cultural gatherings.
Held at Billionaire Dubai, the newly unveiled jewel within the Mandarin Oriental Downtown, the festival promises a night of exquisite gastronomy and electric performance.
Taking center stage is international sensation Zivert, whose hit single “Life” captivated audiences across continents. Her performance — a fusion of voice, light, and emotion — will turn the night into a living canvas, capturing the heartbeat of Dubai: bold, radiant, and unstoppable.
Billionaire Dubai: A Stage for Modern Indulgence
Founded by visionary entrepreneur Flavio Briatore, Billionaire has long defined the essence of luxury nightlife. Its latest Dubai venue takes this legacy to new heights, offering The Ultimate Dinner Show — an immersive experience where haute cuisine and high art intertwine.
For one glittering night, Billionaire Dubai becomes the meeting point of polo champions, artists, and dreamers — each adding their own spark to a celebration of excellence and expression.
The Masters Behind the Magic
Behind the festival stands Berin Iglesias Art, one of the world’s foremost creators of high-society events. With over 250 productions each year spanning Monaco, Courchevel, London, and Dubai, the brand has worked with legends like Sting, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Rita Ora, and Maluma.
Its crown jewel — the Big Art Festival — represents more than entertainment. It is a symbol of refined creativity, bridging worlds through music, performance, and emotion.
This year, The Legacy Cup also welcomes Caroli Group as its official partner. Established in the 1970s by Antonio Caroli, the Monaco-based group stands as a pillar of real estate innovation and design excellence. Through Caroli Immo, Caroli Bat, and Caroli Com Group, the company’s influence stretches from architecture to communication, continually shaping the landscape of luxury living.
Where Friendship and Artistry Unite
“My first visit to Dubai was in 1996, when I was graciously invited by the Al Habtoor family to join them for a polo event. That day marked the beginning of a long-lasting friendship and shared passion,” recalls Rommy Gianni, President of the Monte-Carlo Polo Federation. “I’m thrilled to reunite with the Al Habtoor brothers and our partner Big Art Festival to celebrate the beauty of sport, art, and togetherness.”
“This collaboration between The Legacy Cup by Polo Xperience and the Big Art Festival marks a milestone for the global luxury scene,”
adds Maxim Berin, President of Berin Iglesias Art.
“It’s where sport, art, and lifestyle meet — at the highest level.”
