Doha: The Social and Sport Contribution Fund (DAAM) has signed a financing agreement with the Ministry of Sports and Youth to support the third edition of the Qatar International Pylon Race, organized by the Qatar R/C Sport Center.

According to Qatar News Agency, the 2025 Qatar International Pylon Race is scheduled for December 3-6, 2025, and will take place at the Qatar R/C Sport Center airport. Under the agreement, the fund will provide the necessary resources to stage the competition and prepare the Qatari team, aiming to ensure the event is delivered at a high standard.

The pylon race, often described as the Formula 1 of radio-controlled aircraft, features the fastest planes of their kind, competing across four categories: F3R, F3T, F3D, and F3E. At the end of the championship, three winners are honored in each category, totaling 12 winners.

Organized under the auspices of the F©d©ration A©ronautique Internationale (FAI), this year's edition will attract 50 competitors from 19 countries, including six from Qatar. The country has become the annual host of the final round of the Pylon Racing World Cup.

Since its establishment in 2010, DAAM has launched numerous cultural, social, sporting, and charitable initiatives. Contributions from publicly listed companies on the Qatar Stock Exchange remain a key funding source, making the fund a central partner in advancing community development.
