Visit Qatar has partnered with the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM) E1 World Championship and United Development Company (UDC) to host the inaugural Visit Qatar E1 Doha GP in Doha next year.

The Championship’s innovative electric race boats — the RaceBirds — will compete in Doha on February 21 and 22, 2025. Set to be held at The Pearl Island in Doha, Visit Qatar E1 Doha GP will represent a significant highlight on the 2025 race calendar. It will also mark the establishment of a racing hub in the Middle East.

Corinthia Yacht Club at The Pearl Island will host E1’s thrilling racing series, where teams will compete for the title of Champions of the Water.

The competition’s signing ceremony, held at the Corinthia Yacht Club on Monday, was attended by Visit Qatar CEO Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al Mawlawi, E1 Chairman Alejandro Agag, and Ibrahim Jassim Al Othman, President, CEO, and Member of The Board of United Development Company.

“Through our partnership with E1, Visit Qatar will bring to the country a new sporting championship, further enriching the country’s sports scene. Qatar continues to enhance its sports infrastructure and host mega-sporting international tournaments. The significance of Qatar’s sporting legacy lies in the country’s track record of hosting and supporting major sporting events. Qatar has built a reputation as a hub for international sports tournaments, hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the AFC Asian Cup,” said Al Mawlawi.

“We’re also preparing to host the 2027 FIBA World Cup and the 2030 Doha Asian Games, all of which showcases the country’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, organisational capabilities, and commitment to excellence,” he added.

“E1 is in the infancy of an incredible journey that will not just transform racing on water forever, but drive technological advancement in marine mobility that’ll impact millions around the world,” said E1 Co-Founder Agag,

“Our partners in Qatar have a deep understanding of the power of the electrification of sport, and the Visit Qatar E1 Doha GP is a further commitment to being at the forefront of this exciting legacy,” he added.

“Hosting E1 at The Pearl Island exemplifies our unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation. As an iconic waterfront landmark, The Pearl reflects Qatar’s architectural brilliance while promoting tourism and establishing itself as a premier hub for water sports. We’re proud to host this event, which promises to be a remarkable celebration of our passion and dedication, at Corinthia Yacht Club,” said Al Othman.

The E1 World Championship is the world’s first electric powerboat racing tournament, licensed and authorised by UIM, the world governing body of powerboating.

Designed to promote clean technologies that protect marine life and coastal waters, the E1 World Championship transforms nautical racing to being powered entirely by electricity.

The tournament will see eight races around the world, with Doha being one of the stops. The Championship entails multiple formats including practice and qualifying sessions, in addition to the line race.
