A Season of Triumph and Dedication
Prince Harry made a powerful statement at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Wellington, Florida. In the service of a higher cause, he led his Sentebale team to a 3-1 victory, a triumph that was much more than just a sporting success. With each goal, attention was drawn to the much-needed support for children in Lesotho and Botswana, reached through Sentebale’s work. It is an inspiring example of how the sport of polo and humanitarian efforts can go hand in hand.
Equally impressive was the final of the Barnes Open de France and the Women’s Open. After 31 intense matches in the Open de France and 13 in the Women’s Open, the 2024 champions were crowned. These were two finals of unmatched quality and excitement, proving to spectators worldwide that French polo is played at an international level, consistently setting new standards.
The tenth Ladies Polo Cup in Deauville brought together the best talents of the international polo scene. A purely French team, led by Carole Muir and Alicia Prat, along with the talented sisters Elena and Pearl Venot, dominated the final against an impressive Argentine team, captained by Lia Salvo. With a final score of 10-6, the Frenchwomen claimed victory, once again highlighting the strength of women’s polo.
The 25th anniversary (!) of the Zurich International Polo Ladies Cup was an emotional highlight of the season. For a quarter of a century, this cup has stood for progress and the empowerment of women in polo. Team Los Lobos demonstrated over a weekend full of intense competition that passion and teamwork are the foundation of any victory. Reclaiming the trophy was the crowning achievement of a weekend that will go down in the annals of polo history.
The POLO+10 tournament, organised by Iridike Polo, also made history this year. In a tension-filled final, Team Nairobi triumphed over Iridike after three days of gripping matches, where strategy and top athletic performances set the tone.
