How to watch polo in Argentina
The Campo Argentino de Polo, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo, will host the most important tournament in this sport, featuring internationally prestigious teams.
The upcoming Argentinian Open Polo Championship (Buenos Aires, November and December) is an unbeatable opportunity to watch the world's best players in this sport. It is the most important polo tournament in the world and the closing event of the Triple Crown, the most prestigious high-handicap circuit on the planet, held every year during spring in Argentina.
Argentina is a world power in polo: it stands out for its level of play, horse breeding and elite tournaments. It won gold medals at the 1924 and 1936 Olympic Games, and its national team leads the all-time record with five world championships.
The Triple Crown is made up of three top open tournaments: the Tortugas Country Club Open Championship (Copa Emilio de Anchorena), the Hurlingham Club Polo Open Championship, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship, known as the Palermo Open. Teams with a handicap of between 28 and 40 goals take part in the Argentine Open Polo Championship, and the tournament also includes the Women's Polo Open.
