The Korea Polo Federation (President Cho Jun-hee) said it hosted the "3rd Korea Polo Federation President's Cup" on the 27th–28th.
The tournament was divided into under 13 (U-13) and an adult national team selection, and was held at the Korea Polo Federation's youth indoor training center. This facility is the largest indoor horse training venue in Korea where polo matches can be played regardless of the weather.
The U-13 game MVPs were students Na Hae-on (St. Johnsbury Academy Jeju) and Park Geon-ho (Seoul Mokun Elementary School). The two players drew attention throughout the tournament with steady play and strong performances.
The Korea Polo Federation has been selecting the adult national team since Aug. this year. On Nov. 2, the national team is scheduled to compete in a tournament hosted by Japan Polo Federation President Taro Otsuka at the Korea Polo Club in Jeju Island (sponsored by the Korea Polo Federation).
The federation is preparing a plan to send national team players to Argentina for intensive training this winter. It plans to continuously expand domestic tournaments that bring together youth and adults, and to broaden the base of Korean polo and enhance its competitiveness by increasing international experience and professional training opportunities.
Polo is a British aristocratic sport. Two teams of four riders each play on horseback on grass, using mallets with long, flexible handles to drive a wooden ball between two goalposts.
