20/04/2010
Specialist Buenos Aires-based polo clothing and equipment brand La Martina is playing a prominent role in making the United Arab Emirates a prime location for the sport.
At the opening ceremony of the La Martina Argentina Polo Cup event in Dubai, April 19–23,
Argentina’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Rubén Eduardo Caro, said Dubai was on the way to becoming a world-class venue for polo.
He continued: “Polo is an elegant and martial sport where loyalty, strength and intelligence are given equal weightage. Class and character distinguish polo players on, but above all, off the field. We are proud to organise this tournament along with La Martina, which we think is putting immense efforts into popularising this game in the UAE. Dubai is qualified to host world-class polo games and it enjoys a great sense of hospitality to welcome all the international teams coming to compete here in a sporting ambience, reflecting the great spirit of the UAE and Argentina.”
Ayman Hanbali, marketing manager for La Martina, said: “It is a matter of pride for La Martina to co-organise this event with the Argentinean Embassy in the UAE. The tournament is evolving into one of the most important and prestigious polo tournaments in the region. We are also happy that the ground at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian club meets the global specifications.”
