Polo World Cup – Baku 2013 – Conference Day

Arena Polo World Cup Azerbaijan:  6.– 8. September 2013, Baku, Azerbaijan

It was a very ambitious idea and a huge target, what M. Ahadpur Khangah had in mind when he started creating the first professional polo event in Azerbaijan. The vibrant city at the Caspian Sea belongs to the very early places where an ancient kind of polo named Chovgan was played around 3.000 years ago. Under the slogan “Bringing Polo Home”, M. Ahadpur Khangah proved impressively that Azerbaijan is ready to host the fast sport in its very modern version as well. The competition weekend has proven: Polo came home to Baku – and Azerbaijan made a spectacular party out of it. The enthusiastic audience (10.000 in three days) supported the teams emotionally full-throated and they saw the international line-ups competing on a high-class level. It was Polo at its best in Baku!
