Next 117º Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo (Bicentennial Argentine Polo Open Championship)
The Argentinean countryside owns a vast territory and the perfect conditions to raise polo horses, a sport that is practised in our country since 1870. History tells Polo was spread by the English ranchers and then adopted by the national ranchers. The only precedent to this sport is Pato. This game had been practised by the gauchos on horseback since 1610 and consisted on fighting for a duck inside a sewed leather bag. Despite the fact that Polo and Pato are different games, the basics are similar and both take place in a field perimeter. That is how the tradition that the country adopted to improve and popularize was born.
Argentina has been the main character to Polo throughout history. The country owns the best polo players and has won world championships since 1949.Its horses and players have received worldwide recognition and are coveted by foreign magnates in search of sportsmen to compete in their country’s local tournaments. Although Polo is practised in 77 countries, only a few of them are into competitions. Not only is Argentina one of them but also is the country where the most important handicap contests take place gathering the best players in the world.
The city of Buenos Aires is venue to three of the most important tournaments played in the country known as Triple Corona.
The Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo is a classic and one of the most prestigious competitions in the world. Year after year it has become more popular and is now considered the most professional sports’ show. The tournament was founded in 1893 and is in charge of closing the year’s competitions in the field known as “La catedral del Polo” situated in Campo Argentino de Polo in the heart of Palermo (Av. Del Libertador y Dorrego.) This year, 8 teams will be performing. The opening date, November 20th,
will be held by two games: La Dolfina vs. Sao José & Pilará vs. Chapa Uno. The final is scheduled for December 11th.

Se viene el 117º Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo del Bicentenario
El campo argentino posee un extenso territorio con las condiciones ideales para criar caballos de polo, siendo éste último un deporte que se practica en nuestro país desde el año 1870. La historia dice que el polo fue divulgado por los estancieros ingleses y luego adoptado por los estancieros criollos. Como antecedente se conocía el Pato que era jugado por los gauchos a caballo desde 1610 y consistía en disputarse un pato dentro de un cuero cosido. A pesar de que hoy en día el Pato y el Polo son dos deportes distintos, sus características son similares y ambos se llevan a cabo en el mismo entorno. Así fue como nació la tradición que el país importó, perfeccionó y llevó a lo más alto.
Argentina ha sido el dominador absoluto de este deporte a lo largo de la historia. Actualmente cuenta con los jugadores de mayor hándicap mundial y ha venido ganando campeonatos mundiales desde el año 1949. Sus caballos y polistas son reconocidos y muy codiciados por magnates extranjeros que viajan en búsqueda de deportistas para llevarlos a participar en torneos de sus países de residencia.
Si bien el polo es practicado en 77 países, sólo en unos pocos lo es en forma competitiva. Argentina, además de ser uno de ellos, es en donde se llevan a cabo los certámenes de más importantes hándicap que reúnen a los mejores jugadores del mundo.
La ciudad de Buenos Aires es sede del principal de los tres torneos más importantes disputados en este país que conforman la denominada Triple Corona.
El Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo es un clásico y uno de los torneos más prestigiosos a nivel mundial. Año a año toma más color popular y es considerado el espectáculo deportivo más profesional del país. Este torneo ha estado vigente desde 1893 y es el encargado del cierre de año en la cancha conocida como "La catedral del polo" en el Campo Argentino de Polo ubicado en pleno corazón del barrio de Palermo (Av. Del Libertador y Dorrego). Este año jugarán 8 equipos y para la fecha de apertura el 20 de noviembre están previstos dos partidos: La Dolfina vs. Sao José y Pilará vs. Chapa Uno. La final será el sábado 11 de diciembre.
