Polo by the sea. A not very usual show that only some international capitals and Spanish towns like Tarifa and Vejer enjoy.

The event organizer, Isabel de Borbon, explained on May 4th during the official presentation of the event that Beach Polo is a variant of the traditional Polo with the difference that this event is played on smaller sand courts and with teams composed of only three players. instead of four as traditionally. However, she said the game will be handled by the same rules as the traditional pole. "It's great attraction is that the public is closer to the game, there are no long distances as in polo on grass, and this allows the viewer to appreciate the speed of this sport." In Estepona, four international polo teams will compete with around 50 horses.
Isabel de Borbón also commented that this game modality of polo is getting more and more acceptance and followers in cities such as Miami or Dubai and made clear that it will not be a competition for Sotogrande, but will be a "mutual support" between both locations.
Estepona mayor, Jose María García Urbano said; that the celebration of the 'Costa del Sol Beach Polo Cup 2018' is "another proof of the great capacity that Estepona has to host important and top-level events." He added that the city is turning to sport with projects such as the future athletics stadium or the Litoral Path.
He also explained that; the City Council has made all administrative and environmental arrangements so that this sporting competition can be held in Estepona and mentioned that the municipal operational brigades have been working for weeks in adapting the beach and the creation of tracks where the matches will be played.
Although bleachers and VIP areas will be established, the event is open to the public free of charge
Among the four international polo teams that will be part of this competition highlights the Argentine 'Jolly Roger - King of Polo', winner of numerous tournaments in Sotogrande and abroad. French, English and Swedish teams will also compete, as well as polo players, such as Jamie Le Hardy and Hernan Pieres.
The matches will be played on Saturday, May 19, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm; and on Sunday the 20th, from 12:00 to 14:00.
