Group C Araucaria Polo Club Polo Club Niederweiden Deauville International Polo Club Group D Hong Kong Polo Association BP Polo Malaysia Hamburger Polo Club After a debriefing with the Federation of International Polo (FIP), the French Polo Federation, the Polo Club de Chantilly and the Founding clubs/teams, some changes were agreed for next event. The main changes are that the Final will be held on Saturday 18 June 2022 and a Subsidiary Cup will be held during the tournament.
Concerning the format, the number of teams participating in the event will be 14 international clubs/teams with a maximum of 2 clubs/teams per country, but given the special situation we are living and as an exception, a third club from Argentina has been authorized by the Federation of International Polo (FIP), the French Polo Federation (FFP), and GAME POLO to participate in the POLO RIDER CUP. So Coronel Suarez Polo Club (ARG) rounds out the POLO RIDER CUP and replace the Moscow Polo Club due to the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine.
