Zawawi Cup

The Zawawi Cup is a Listed flat horse race in Sweden open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 1,200 metres (about 6 furlongs) at Jägersro in July. It is one of the few Group or Listed races in Europe to be run on a dirt surface.

History
The event is sponsored by Dr Omar Zawawi, a leading racehorse owner in Scandinavia. It was formerly known as the Zawawi Baltic Cup.

For a period the race held Listed status. It was promoted to Group 3 level in 2013 and downgraded back to Listed status in 2019.

Prior to 2014 the Zawawi Cup was run in August, usually on the same day as the Svenskt Derby.
