Following the 133rd. Hurlingham Open and the 86th. Tortugas Open, the much anticipated 133rd. Argentine Polo Open Championship, the culminating moment of the coveted Triple Crown in Argentina, is set to commence on Saturday November 14. The scenario, as usual, will be the Cathedral, Palermo.
Ten teams up to 40 goals will be competing for every polo player’s dream; and this year there’s a big chance to have back to back Triple Crown champions – La Natividad La Dolfina, Adolfo Cambiaso, Camilo Castagnola, Poroto Cambiaso and Bartolomé Castagnola Jr. have won the two previous tournaments, and are the only contenders to claim the prestigious Triple Crown, if they are able to win Palermo.
In the event it happens, the Cañuelas-based lineup will leave a remarkable mark in the history books – this is a team that was formed only one year ago, and they already have the chance to grab the Triple Crown for a second consecutive year. However, they have a huge challenge ahead, especially with two powerful contenders – La Hache, first and foremost, who were their opponents in Hurlingham and Tortugas. And especially the latter, who happens to make their debut in Palermo on Saturday – the team made of the Ulloa and Panelo brothers, presented a tough battle, by delivering a remarkable performance and were completely fearless against the multiple champions. As well as Ellerstina Indios Chapaleufu, the 2025 Argentine Open runner up, who will seek for a rematch.
So, everything is set and ready, and the wait is over. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Argentine Polo Open Championship, the icing of the cake of the season in Argentina and the international calendar of polo, is here.
THE ORDER OF PLAY OF THE OPENING DAY OF THE 133rd. ARGENTINE POLO OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, DUE ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14, IS AS FOLLOWS:
