Muhammad Babangida discusses a few of the largest polo tournaments happening around the world.

1. The Biggest Polo
Tournaments In
The World

2. For many people, Polo does not come
to mind when they think of popular
sports. While it may not be televised
the way big sports like baseball and
soccer are, it’s one of the biggest sports
out there and is played in over 90
countries around the globe. There have
been many different polo tournaments
over the years, but just like with any
competition, certain tournaments stand
out in people’s minds more than other
ones. Maybe it’s due to certain
competitors going up against one
another to settle a rivalry, or perhaps
it’s due to some spectacular move that
ended up winning the competition for
someone that didn’t seem to stand a
chance of winning. Regardless, there
are plenty of amazing polo
tournaments out there, so here are
some of the biggest ones.

3. One of the biggest British competitions out there, the
Cartier Queen’s Cup occurs every year around May and
June and is one of the most important (if not the most
important) 22 goal polo tournaments to exist and it
attracts some of the greatest polo players in the world.
The tournament takes place at the beautiful Windsor
Great Park and the VIP list is as impressive as they
come. One of the most well known features of this
tournament is its Clubhouse hospitality. You’ll often see
audiences and competitors alike attending this event
each year as it’s one of the biggest events in the
country..

4. Known as one of the most unique polo competitions
due to the weather, this tournament takes place in
Aspen, Colorado at the Rio Grande Park. While polo
isn’t traditionally played in the snow, this event adds
that twist to make things a little more interesting. The
tournament plays out like a traditional game of polo
otherwise. The backdrop of the snow covered
mountains adds a certain kind of beauty to the entire
ordeal, and attendees have the ability to purchase
tickets for the VIP tent in order to add a little more
luxury to the whole ordeal.

5. While polo is traditionally played by men, women’s
polo has begun to rapidly pick up in popularity in
recent years. Due to that, this tournament is one of the
biggest and one of the first tournaments made
specifically for female competitors. The competition is
played at two handicap levels; a 6-12 goals
competition and a 12-18 goals one. Due to how big
crowds were the first time, it’s more than likely we’ll
continue to see this tournament going forward.
