Season Opening at PoloPark Berlin:Team Dresden Polo Triumphs in a High-Class Final at PoloPark Berlin

A season opener with real impact: the new polo season in Germany has been impressively launched at PoloPark Berlin – delivering top-level sport, a vibrant atmosphere, and an international flair that sets the tone for the months ahead.

From May 1 to 3, six international teams gathered for the first official tournament of the German Polo Association in 2026 – and, under near-perfect weather conditions, showcased exactly what defines this sport: speed, precision, and high-level excitement. The preliminary rounds already developed into an intense competition that immediately captivated the many spectators in attendance. Even figures from the circle of the legendary St. Moritz Polo Tournament were spotted in Berlin – a subtle indication of the growing international appeal of PoloPark Berlin.

The highlight, of course, was the final between Dresden Polo and Team Ostseebad Sellin. What followed was a match defined by clear moments, tactical discipline, and decisive individual plays. In the end, Dresden Polo secured a 9 : 4.5 victory – a result that reflects their superiority while not diminishing the fighting spirit of their opponents.

Off the field, the season opener proved to be a thoroughly successful event. “The Polospeaker” Jan Zavazal, one of the most recognized voices in German polo, guided the audience through the matches with expertise and charm, while Polo DJ BastikSoul provided the perfect soundtrack. Culinary highlights were delivered by Joel and his team from Forke & Knife, seamlessly combining sport and lifestyle.

A particular social highlight was hosted by Sylvia Senger, a long-time supporter of PoloPark Berlin, who attended the event together with around 95 guests and the RR-Bentley Club. Moments like these underline polo’s strength as a platform for connection, networking, and shared experience.

Lifestyle partners were also present: visitors had the opportunity not only to discover but also to test the latest whirlpools by Hotsprings – an element that further enhanced the event’s character.

Sporting excellence was duly recognized: the MVP award went to the tournament’s youngest player, Gaspar Caivano – a clear signal for the next generation in international polo. The Best Playing Pony, “Princesa,” played by Berty Carlos Zalazar, once again demonstrated the decisive role of the horses at this level.

This season opener at PoloPark Berlin was more than just a tournament. It was a statement – for the quality of German polo, its international orientation, and the unique combination of sport, elegance, and experience that defines the game worldwide.
