Trading Meets Turf: Daman Markets Closes Its Racing Debut in Grand Style at the Dubai World Cup

‍

‍

At this year’s Dubai World Cup, the thundering hooves of champion racehorses weren’t the only thing making waves. Daman Markets, the premium forex and CFD trading arm of Daman Securities, wrapped its debut racing season in spectacular style, blending financial flair with high-stakes sport at one of the most prestigious events in the region.

‍

As the official racing partner of the Dubai Racing Club (DRC) for the 2024–25 season, Daman Markets didn’t just show up—they showed off, delivering a season-long experience that merged the precision of trading with the prestige of equestrian sport.

The Race Day That Redefined Finance Events

For Daman Markets, the finale at Meydan Racecourse wasn’t just another brand moment—it was a cultural milestone. With His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in attendance, the Dubai World Cup lived up to its reputation as a social, sporting, and symbolic event on the regional calendar. And right in the heart of it all? The Daman Markets VIP Suite.

There, the brand hosted a one-of-a-kind experience that turned financial engagement into live entertainment. Guests participated in curated challenges like:

• Trading trivia competitions
• Real-time asset prediction games
• Strategy-based contests with real-world stakes

‍

Winners didn’t just earn bragging rights—they scored luxury prizes including Mercedes-Benz off-road driving experiences, private yacht cruises, 5-star hotel stays, and even funded trading accounts.

Panel Power: Insight from the MENA Market Elite

Adding intellectual edge to the evening, an exclusive financial panel brought top voices in regional media to the floor:

• Naoufer Ramoul, Dubai Media Incorporated
• Cyba Audi, Asharq News Services
• Lara Habib, Al Arabiya

Their lively discussion unpacked everything from regional market trends to the evolving investor mindset across MENA. The panel not only informed, it affirmed Daman Markets’ commitment to thought leadership in a space that’s too often all charts, no context.

Lights, Drones, Action: A Visual Finale to Remember

As the sun set on Meydan, the night ended with an epic drone show—one of the largest the venue has ever seen. The skies lit up in tribute to the heritage of horse racing and its enduring cultural role in the UAE, creating a powerful close to an already unforgettable event.

Why Horse Racing? The Strategy Behind the Spectacle

Daman Markets chose horse racing for more than just the glamour. The sport shares striking similarities with trading: both demand discipline, lightning-fast decisions, and mastery over unpredictable variables. In short, both reward those who understand the game and play it smart.

This alignment made the yearlong partnership a natural fit—and marked the first time a UAE-based broker partnered with the Dubai Racing Club across an entire season.

“The Dubai World Cup is not just a racing spectacle—it’s a cultural and social moment that brings together the very best,” said Samer Mourched, CEO of Daman Markets. “We’re proud of how we’ve elevated the financial conversation within this prestigious setting.”

Final Lap: What’s Next for Daman Markets?

From hosting VIPs in high style to making finance fun, Daman Markets didn’t just participate—they led. Their season-long presence at one of the UAE’s most iconic events has positioned the brand as more than a broker—it’s now part of the cultural fabric.

With innovation, insight, and impact stitched into every experience, Daman Markets has redefined what it means to connect with clients—and they’re just getting started.
