A luxury weekend with the Diplomats Polo Cup Prague 2017 (16 – 18 June)
The Diplomats Polo Cup Prague 2017 is open to the public and is in particular popular among families with children for whom the time spent in this luxurious and exciting environment will be a remarkable experience. You can look forward to matches on Friday and Saturday from 2.00 p.m. and the grand final will be held on Sunday at 12:00 noon.
Polo, the sport of kings with all it entails
Polo originated in Persia 2,000 years ago, but was popularised by the British who brought the game to Europe. Two teams of four players compete in the game, using polo sticks to knock the ball into their opponents’ goal on horseback. A tradition you won’t miss out on as the spectators is “divot stomping” to flatten out the field churned up by the horses’ hooves.
Four teams with a handicap of +2 will be competing for the cup this year. The players are amateur enthusiasts and professionals from Europe and beyond.
The grand final is guaranteed to be a magnificent spectacle
The pageant that is the grand final will be held on Sunday 18 June starting at 12:00 noon. It will start with a welcoming ceremony which representatives of the Dutch Embassy will be participating in as this year’s championships are being held under the auspices of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. There will be an awards ceremony and also a prize for the best-dressed lady of the day.
This luxurious day will include unique catering and the opportunity to try playing polo on a wooden horse. One of the largest luxury car dealers in Germany Thomas Exclusive Cars will be offering test drives in new models of Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin on site.
Don’t miss this luxury event which you can only experience once a year!
Participation in polo matches from Friday to Saturday is free of charge for the public. Tickets for the VIP section on Sunday for the Grand Final cost CZK 1,500 and are available at info@diplomatspolocup.com
