Arena Polo, also known as Indoor Polo, has its origin in North American. Born from the desire to play polo even under the freezing winter northern temperatures, and today being played all year round, this new version makes polo more accessible for all.
It’s a game in which agility and strategy are more important than speed, and today it is also played in Europe and Latin America.
Year after year its popularity has been growing, and some of Arena Polo’s worldwide tournaments are:
1. The U.S. Arena Polo Championship®, a 12-18 goal tournament, is one of the highest levels of fast version of polo competition currently played in the United States. Its history dates back to 1926, where the first tournament was held and won by the Yale University team of Reddington Barret, Winston Guest and William Mui.
2. The Arena Polo Grand Prix held in Argentina, promoted by La Carona Polo Club along with the Argentine Polo Association, was organized for the first time in June 2019, and was the start for the Arena Polo in Argentina.
