On Thursday 4/12 on field 2 of the Argentine Polo Galicia Field in Palermo, the 10th date (fifth and last of Zone B) of the world’s top competition of our sport began to be played: the 132nd Argentine Polo Galicia Open presented by Visa.
In the match, La Ensenada Clonargen got its first and only victory in the tournament after beating by 16 to 11 one of the teams that emerged from the classification, La Dolfina II, won the Visa Cup that was in dispute; and left their opponent without a chance of a tiebreaker, who did not achieve their goal of being pre-qualified for the 2026 season. In this way, the Repechage was confirmed, in which La Zeta Kazak, eighth in the TC 2025 ranking, and La Aguada, winner of the Chamber of Deputies Cup, will face each other. Great game!
