U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge Unites the Best Polo Players in the World to Raise Funds for a Meaningful Cause

As part of its continued commitment to the sport, U.S. Polo Assn. provided branded performance jerseys to all participating players for both the Youth Match and the 40-Goal Challenge and made a monetary contribution to support PPSG's mission. Since its founding in 2002, this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has delivered critical financial assistance to more than 100 injured players and grooms, distributing nearly $4 million in aid to those in need.

"The U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge is especially unique because it brings together some of the world's greatest players in support of the polo community itself," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global. "Through U.S. Polo Assn.'s partnership with the Polo Players Support Group, we're proud to help raise meaningful awareness, provide real support, and reinforce the values of care and connection that define the sport of polo."

The event's programming began with a Future 10's Youth Match, highlighting the next generation of the sport's talent, followed by a high-level 40-Goal match featuring some of the most accomplished players in the sport. Each team fielded a combined handicap of 40 goals, underscoring the elite caliber of competition, with Adolfo Cambiaso, Facundo Pieres, Tomás Panelo, and Beltran Lauhle on SD Farms Polo Team and Camilo "Jeta" Castagnola, Hilario Ulloa, Matias Torres Zavaleta, and Francisco Elizalde on Airstream Polo Team.

Following the match, guests gathered at the Pavilion at NPC for a dinner and live auction, where signed jerseys and exclusive experiences were offered to raise additional funds for PPSG. The evening brought together players, patrons, and supporters united by a shared commitment to giving back to the sport.

"U.S. Polo Assn. was born from the sport of polo, and our heritage carries a deep responsibility to give back to the game and the people who sustain it," Prince added.

The U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge continues to stand as one of the most meaningful philanthropic moments of the United States polo season, celebrating excellence on the field while delivering tangible support to the community that makes the sport possible.

"The long-standing support from U.S. Polo Assn. goes far beyond sponsorship; it directly helps us provide meaningful assistance to players, grooms, and families during some of the most challenging moments of their lives," said Dave Offen, Co-Founder of the Polo Players Support Group. "The U.S. Polo Assn. 40-Goal Polo Challenge brings the polo community together in a powerful way, and we're incredibly grateful for U.S. Polo Assn.'s ongoing partnership and belief in our mission."
