Another thrilling year for polo is about to come to an end. And while waiting a new year filled with plenty of polo all over the world, it’s worth to give a look at the 2024 most important champions all over the world.
Let’s go the the United States, more specifically to The Gauntlet of Polo, in Wellington, Florida. While Valiente claimed the CV Whitney Cup, La Dolfina were victorious at the USPA Gold Cup and the US Open.
With regards to Europe, England had a very busy and competitive season, as usual. The Prince of Wales Trophy went to La Dolfina Great Oaks, a lineup who managed to reach the two following finals, however without luck. Talandracas and Dubai ran out the champions of the Queen’s Cup and the British Open Polo Championship for the Cowdray Gold Cup was taken by Dubai.
Now, let’s give a quick look to the rest of the European season, focusing on high goal tournaments – La Fija won the Open de France. In Sotogrande, Dubai and Calatagan claimed the Silver Cup and Gold Cup, respectively.
Argentina, probably the highlight of the year, has plenty of tournaments. But we will go directly to the Triple Crown – La Hache emerged victorious at the Tortugas Open; and the two remaining competitions, the Hurlingham Open and the Argentine Polo Open Championship went to La Natividad.
