Following the conclusion of the José Ignacio Domecq Cup and then the Barón de Strabrock Cup, the third and final cup of the Iberian Polo Tour de Primavera (Spring) will begin this afternoon. The XXI Jerez Polo Cup will be held on the fields of Santa Maria Polo Club, home to Los Pinos, in Sotogrande, Spain.
Six teams will compete in this cup with a handicap of up to eight goals, with each organization fielding two qualifying teams. The top two will then advance directly to the final (held on Sunday, April 27), while the remaining teams will fill out the two subsidiary cups. It should be noted that the Quinto Elemento team won the previous two tournaments and will seek to secure a perfect performance, also securing a third.
