MUBADALA COMMUNITY CHAMPION PARTNERSHIP
In 2024, Mubadala signed a transformative partnership with WTEF. At the heart of this partnership is a shared belief: that tennis is a vehicle for opportunity on the court, in the classroom, and far beyond.
Mubadala’s support has helped expand four of WTEF’s flagship programs, directly impacting more than 1,000 young people across DC.
As part of this commitment, Mubadala launched the Mubadala x WTEF Internship Program at the 2024 Mubadala Citi DC Open. The program provides local high school and college students with hands-on experience in sports management, communications, and professional mentorship—connecting aspiration to real-world opportunities.
The impact of this partnership is global in scope and local in focus. At the 2024 Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open, Mubadala integrated community engagement, youth development, and cultural exchange into every aspect of the tournament. From grassroots tennis activations to women’s leadership forums and inclusive business networking events, Mubadala’s investment was built on the principles of access, empowerment, and sustainability.
Together with WTEF, Mubadala is building a platform where sport meets purpose and the next generation of leaders can thrive.
