The recently opened Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club will host Asia’s first snow polo tournament from February 15 – 20, 2011.
The competition will feature six teams from some of the world’s leading polo nations, namely England, France, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and China. Two matches will be played daily in a league format.
Snow polo originated in the Swiss resort of St. Moritz in 1985 and is contested by three players on each side who use an orange ball that’s slightly bigger than the one used on grass.
The tournament winners will take home a trophy made by Asprey.
