“It is an honor for Argentina to be the official venue of the first Arena Polo World Cup that takes place in history.

Also called “riding polo” or “indoor” in the United States or England, Arena Polo is the same sport we already know, but featuring three players per team, on a field reduced in size, 100 x 50 meters, with a sand floor instead of grass. The dynamics of the game is very wide, since being played between walls, the ball almost never leaves the field and the fluidity is much greater.
