PoloPark Berlin | July 10–12, 2026 – Top-class polo, closely contested matches and perfect summer weather set the stage for the 2nd International German Ladies Polo Championship, presented by Radio Paradiso. Four teams competed at PoloPark Berlin for the official German Ladies Championship title awarded by the German Polo Association, delivering three days of exciting competition.
From the opening matches, it became clear that the field was evenly matched. Fast-paced action, tactical play and determined performances kept spectators engaged throughout the tournament, with several games remaining undecided until the closing stages.
The final saw Team Ingo Pyko Immobilien face Team POLO+10 / Radio Paradiso in a hard-fought contest. Team POLO+10 / Radio Paradiso kept the match competitive for much of the game, but Team Ingo Pyko Immobilien proved more clinical when it mattered most, securing a 5:3.5 victory to claim the title of German Ladies Polo Champion 2026.
Away from the field, visitors enjoyed an attractive supporting programme. Tournament organiser Thomas Strunck guided spectators through the matches with expert commentary, while Forke & Knife from California provided the catering. DJ BastikSoul supplied the soundtrack throughout the weekend, and younger guests were entertained with a bouncy castle and a wooden polo horse.
