Challenge:

ALULA Desert Polo 2026 is one of the most high-profile sporting events in the region, held at the Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Equestrian Village in AlFursan. With 3,000+ attendees, 8 distinct access zones, and a demanding two-day competition schedule, the organiser needed a tight, reliable accreditation setup that matched the event's premium positioning — while ensuring only credentialed individuals accessed restricted polo paddock and player areas.

Our Solution:

Stamp IQ delivered a registration and 8-zone access control system configured specifically for the polo venue layout. Category-specific badge designs were produced for players, VIPs, press, and general public — each carrying precise zone permissions. The full setup was operational before competition day one, with a dedicated accreditation team on-site for both days.

Results:

3,000+ attendees registered and badged successfully

8-zone access control operational with zero breaches

Real-time badge generation on demand throughout both days

Full compliance achieved across all credential categories
