Neku Atawodi-Edun, the first black woman to play professional polo, has been inducted into the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. The induction is a recognition of her achievements and contributions to the game of polo.

The museum, located in Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, one of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 stadiums, features a display section of some of Neku’s match-worn items, including her Access Bank branded shirt worn in Argentine Polo Open 2019 as the first black person ever to play in the tournament.  

Noted for being the first black woman to play polo professionally along with her career achievements both in the game of polo and as a technology-for-impact investor, Neku is one of the few African athletes to be inducted into the Museum.  

Announced as an Access Bank ambassador in 2019, the successful partnership has included Access Bank having naming rights to Neku’s polo team that played in the Argentine Polo Open in 2019.
