Beach Polo Cup Dubai 2017
From December 14th to 15th the polo world puts its eyes on the cradle of Beach Polo. Here in Dubai, Beach Polo was played in 2004 for the first time ever. 2017, the Beach Polo Cup Dubai 2017 presented by Nissan will attract again hundreds of international guests and celebrities to join thrilling matches at the polo arena set up at the Skydive, in the very heart of the vibrant city of Dubai. World class polo players and their horses will compete for the trophy and promise fast and dynamic polo action in an exclusive and elegant setting. Under the Patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council, the Beach Polo Cup Dubai 2017 presented by Nissan has been a part of the prestigious sporting events calendar in the region for more than a decade.
Tournament and Event Director Gaby Katiela: „Beach Polo helped increase the understanding of the sport. It changed the perception of traditional Polo and is more relaxed and accessible to a younger and trendier crowd. The Beach Polo Cup in Dubai is constantly pushing the limits and elevating the standard of the game resulting in pure excitement and entertainment that the sport offers. A fun thrilling experience to be enjoyed by all, not just Polo enthusiasts. It is more than just a sport, Beach Polo offers the audience a modern take on an old and privileged social experience.“
