THE Bahrain Royal Equestrian and Endurance Federation president, Shaikh Nasser Hamad Al Khalifa will lead his country in the FEI World Endurance Championships (WEC) at the Terengganu International Endurance Park (TIEP) in Lembah Bidong, Setiu on Nov 6-9.
The other team members are Shaikh Khalid Hamad Al Khalifa, Yousif Taher, Ghazi Al Dossary, Raed Mahmood and Ahmed Abdulla.
The team is coached by Shaikh Daij Salman Al Khalifa while Dr Khalid Hassan is the manager.
This will be Bahrain's third appearance in the world championship following their debut in the 2005 edition in Dubai.
Shaikh Nasser, said the team members are optimistic of a podium finish.
"We have been training for over a year for this championship," Shaikh Nasser told www.endurance.net, recently.
Their preparations started right after finishing second in last year's European Championships in Portugal.
The riders have been training in Europe, where they had a month-long camp in the United Kingdom, Austria and France.
However, Shaikh Nasser said the team will encounter a fierce test as the surface of the race area is presently wet due to continuous rain. But Shaikh Nasser expressed faith in the team members who have gained enough experience to help them pass this stern challenge.
