Once again this year, SEAT will be the sponsor and official vehicle of the CSIO Barcelona 2016, a world-class riding event to be held from 22 to 25 September at Barcelona’s Royal Polo Club, an organisation to which the Spanish carmaker has remained committed for eight years now as institutional sponsor.
This landmark sporting event is framed within the Barcelona Equestrian Challenge, one of the year’s most highly-awaited moments for riding enthusiasts, which puts the Catalan capital in the spotlight to showcase this sport. For the fourth consecutive year, the CSIO Barcelona is hosting the final of the world’s most prestigious national team riding competition. Added to this is the fact that the event organised by the Royal Polo Club has reached its 105th edition, making it by far the oldest international sporting event in Spain.
According to SEAT Executive Committee President Luca De Meo “the Royal Polo Club is an excellent venue to highlight our brand and strengthen our ties with Barcelona and the city’s social environment. Likewise, the CSIO Barcelona is a competition that requires precision, quality and determination, and that is exactly how we work at SEAT”.
For this edition, the CSIO Barcelona is staging a total of nine competitions with the foremost riders of the national equestrian programme. There will be six individual competitions, while the remaining three are included in the Nations Cup Final.
