Avon Egypt sponsor all-female rally team

Avon Egypt is speeding past stereotypes with sponsorship of the country’s only all-female rally team, Gazelle.

The sponsorship was announced ahead of Egypt’s 2018 rally event, which took place between May 10 – 12. The team put in an impressive performance, clinching first place in the ‘special skill race’, and ranking second overall (out of 12 teams) in the ElGouna Rally.

This initiative affirms Avon’s ongoing commitment to providing young women with empowering role models, and celebrating women that are striving to succeed across a variety of fields.  

The sponsorship will also include a rally in Saudi Arabia at the end of June, making the Gazelle team the first ladies to drive in Saudi Arabia, but more importantly, the first ladies to race professionally in the Middle East.
