“We are honored to be champions of the USPA arena tournament under the stars & lights,” said Team Captain Tareq Salahi. “This victory marks a historic return of championship arena polo in Florida.”
“We thank our teammates, supporters, and partners who made this moment possible and look forward to welcoming fans to our upcoming matches, including the America’s 250th International Polo Tour® Sunset Polo® Celebration on September 19th in Virginia.”
At the start of the game, IPT faced a disadvantage, being faced with top players from rival team Blue Ridge Farms. Over the course of the match, the IPT Hotels at Sea team, including Salahi alongside pro teammates Hardy Pemberton and Marcos Bignoli (who scored the first two-pointers and set the tone for the rest of the game), valiantly fought back, soon tying and then surpassing their opponents in the 4th Chukker. The final score was 20-18.
“We believe everyone is a winner here,” added Salahi. “Our rivals were incredibly powerful- it was a close match, and they should be proud of how well they performed.”
“This weekend’s USPA Masters Cup Arena Polo Money Tournament marked the return of professional arena polo in Florida,” added Tareq Salahi. “This is only the beginning. With the International Polo Tour® Arena Mega Stadium on the horizon, we look ahead to a new era of Saturday night professional matches paired with world-class entertainment. Founding suite opportunities & sponsorships are now available as we build the future home of arena polo tied into the performing arts. Our sincere thanks to Flying Cow Polo Club for bringing this tournament to life.”
The International Polo Tour’s legacy continues to grow, with the continuing development underway for a highly anticipated fully enclosed climate controlled Arena Polo Stadium targeted for 2030. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are now available for this year’s International Polo Tour® Sunset Polo®, which will welcome leaders and icons from Thailand in a match celebrating international connection and America’s 250th anniversary, while supporting We Will Survive Cancer.
