Online trading broker CFI has been announced as the official sponsor of the Arabian Gulf Cup, known as Khaleeji Zain 26, which will take place in Kuwait from December through January.
Event Highlights and CFI’s Sponsorship Role
The Arabian Gulf Cup, organized by the Arab Gulf Cup Football Federation, will feature eight nations: Kuwait, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, and Yemen. As an official sponsor, CFI will gain prominent brand visibility throughout the event and will engage directly with fans through various interactive initiatives.
These initiatives aim to bring attendees closer to the action, furthering CFI’s commitment to community engagement across the Gulf region.
His Excellency Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, President of the Arabian Gulf Cup Football Federation, expressed his support for the partnership, noting that “Partnerships like the one with CFI play a crucial role in supporting the growth of football across the region.” Jassim Al Rumaihi, AGCFF Secretary-General, added that the collaboration with CFI aligns with the federation’s goals of elevating fan and player engagement at the Arabian Gulf Cup.
CFI’s Expanding Sports Sponsorships and Regional Partnerships
CFI’s involvement in sports sponsorships extends beyond football. The company has supported prominent teams and leagues, including AC Milan and the FIBA WASL (West Asia Super League). In May, CFI partnered with FIBA for the WASL Final 8 tournament in Doha, Qatar, which featured teams from Lebanon, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Iran, and India.
Additionally, CFI has deepened its commitment to the Gulf region through partnerships with the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, taking part in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives that promote community involvement and local culture.
CFI’s international presence was further solidified with a multi-year partnership announced in July with seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, naming him the global brand ambassador for the company.
Through these sponsorships, CFI continues to strengthen its engagement in sports and community-driven initiatives across the region, positioning itself as a committed partner to Gulf events and a supporter of sports at all levels.
