Polo Beach: the most exclusive sport in the world arrives in Miami

(By Marcelo Maurizio y Juan Maqueda) Polo Beach is a variant of traditional polo played on the beach instead of on a grass field. The sport originated on the beaches of Argentina and Uruguay in the early 20th century and has become increasingly popular worldwide, especially in luxury tourist destinations. From April 20 to 23, the most important tournament of this eccentric luxury sport, the Beach Polo World Cup, will take place in Miami. The Beach Polo World Cup in Miami is the largest and most notable beach polo event in the world. It features eight international teams and more than 120 horses.

Polo is considered the sport of kings. Its beach version, in Miami, is spectacular both in the pre-event, during the competition, and the post-match events, which are only comparable to the most exclusive of F1 or golf.

The world's most premium brands have a great stake in Miami and throughout the tournament as princes, sheiks, millionaires, top designers, and celebrities are big fans of this sport.

It is a sport that originated in Argentina and Uruguay and for more than 15 years has been a worldwide boom.

One of the most prominent events in the world of beach polo is the Miami Beach Polo Championship, which is held annually in the city of Miami, Florida. The championship has been an annual event since 2005, attracting some of the best beach polo teams and players in the world.

The Miami Beach Polo Championship takes place on South Beach, which is one of the most famous and visited beaches in the world. The location is perfect for this event, as it provides ample space for teams to compete and for spectators to enjoy the sport and the sun.

The Miami Beach Polo Championship attracts teams from all over the world, with players from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and other countries. These teams are some of the best in the world at beach polo and compete in a series of matches to determine the tournament champion. La Dolfina team from Argentina has been one of the undisputed protagonists of this tournament.

The championship is important because it is one of the few high-level beach polo events held in the United States. Additionally, the location in Miami makes it accessible to a broad audience, including many international tourists visiting the city. The event is also a great opportunity for luxury brands to associate with the sport and reach a high-net-worth audience.

It is also a great opportunity for sports fans in general to enjoy an exciting and unique event.
