Play Polo in Argentina and the UK
Polo facts
Thrillingly addictive, this high-speed equestrian game, the game of kings, is one of the oldest sports in existence today.

According to The Hurlingham Polo Association the first recorded Polo match was played between the Turkomans and the Persians around 600BC. The game spread across Asia and was rediscovered in Manipur, India by British tea-planters.

Brought home to Britain in the late 19th Century, polo was then played by the original pioneers in Argentina. The first official match in Argentina is said to have taken place in 1875.
