As the Official Apparel and Jersey Partner, U.S. Polo Assn. outfitted all participating teams of the weekend, as well as staff uniforms. The brand also hosted an immersive on-site experience for event attendees, featuring a vibrant U.S. Polo Assn. merchandise tent showcasing official co-branded event apparel, a polo-inspired photo wall, and interactive brand models, along with contests and cap giveaways.
Now in its 15th year, Chestertons Polo in the Park is the only polo event played in central London and continues to grow in prestige and popularity as Europe's largest three-day polo and lifestyle event with action-packed polo games, food festivals, luxury shopping, entertainment, and more. The highly anticipated weekend kicked off with International Day on Friday, as England faced Argentina, alongside six world-class polo teams representing different global cities, followed by Saturday's Ladies Day, and the culminating event on Sunday with Finals and Family Day, drawing crowds of polo enthusiasts from the U.K. and across the globe. Team Riyadh won the weekend's tournament against Akrham Team Punta Cana with a score of 10-5, and Cesar Crespo from Team Riyadh was awarded Tournament MVP.
"Chestertons Polo in the Park is a one-of-a-kind event that brings together the spirit of polo, our U.S. Polo Assn. brand, and the energy of London in a fun, stylish, and accessible way," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "Our sponsorship reinforces the authentic connection between our brand and the sport of polo while helping us further engage U.K. consumers in one of our most important and fastest-growing markets."
The global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand continues to expand across the United Kingdom with store openings at McArthurGlen's East Midlands and Cheshire Oaks and additional brick-and-mortar locations planned in the coming years. U.K. consumers can also explore the brand's latest sport-inspired styles for men, women, and children at www.uspoloassn.co.uk.
"As the strategic partner of U.S. Polo Assn. in the U.K., Chestertons Polo in the Park is an ideal platform to showcase our sport-inspired brand's connection to historic English polo," said Boo Jalil, CEO of Brand Machine Group, U.S. Polo Assn.'s U.K. licensing partner. "This annual celebration not only builds brand visibility in a meaningful way, but also highlights the fun, fashion-forward, and approachable spirit of U.S. Polo Assn."
Set against the backdrop of one of polo's most historic venues - Hurlingham Park, where the sport was first played in 1874, the event reflects decades of tradition, including hosting the 1908 Olympic Polo Final and multiple Westchester Cup matches between the United States and England.
"U.S. Polo Assn. is the perfect fit for Chestertons Polo in the Park, and we value the continued support," said Rory Heron, Managing Director of Sportgate International, the founding organizer of the event. "The brand's meaningful connection to the game and globally recognized style brings authenticity, accessibility, and innovative activations to our spectacular annual celebration of sport and lifestyle in London."
