Cuatro Vientos and La Aguada qualified for the final of the República Argentina Cup, most prestigious tournament of the Argentine Autumn season, following their semifinal wins against Sauveterre Monterosso and Trenque Lauquen-Thai Polo, respectively. The matches took place on Tuesday, March 30, at the Argentine Association of Polo grounds, in Pilar.
The República Argentina Cup was established in 1929. The tournament is remarkable because teams from all over the country are elegible to play. This unique competition invites teams rated from 0 to 40 goals to compete. The final stage is played between Palermo and the AAP grounds in Pilar, while the final takes place at Palermo. It is worth noting that the República Argentina Cup is played on handicap, and ties are permitted during the qualification stage.
