Yaatekum Alaafie y'all. May the best team lift the Gold Cup
UAE
ZONE A - 1ST
UAE Polo’s on top of the league table at the moment, like Liverpool FC. The Patron of UAE Polo, Sheikha Maitha Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum a.k.a MRM1’s been planning this since summer last year.
​
HABTOOR
ZONE B - 1ST
At the beginning of the season, with the arrival of Facu Sola to the Habtoor Camp, we were in high anticipation of Habtoor’s performance this season. Here’s what we think of his case:
​
ABU DHABI
ZONE A - 2ND
Abu Dhabi is fierce. Always has been. Their Patron, a man whose looks are way softer than his play on the field. Their ponies are better this season. The Players more careful, in other words, less fouls.
​
DESERT PALM
ZONE A - 3RD
Desert Palm and the Castagnola Hurricanes. Sounds like a retro rock band right? :) One thing they’ve done right is to relieve Camilo of the burden of being the goal-scoring machine.
​
GHANTOOT
ZONE B - 2ND
Here’s what it is; Ghantoot’s horsepower is very good. German engine horses, plus Donovan. The pressing question is this: Is Donovan even from this planet?
​
ZEDAN
ZONE B - 3RD
Zedan is loved by the African community in the Netherlands. Zedan is a legit team when it comes to comebacks, and their horses are in the Top 2 Best-Dressed List.
​
MAHRA
ZONE A - 4TH
Mahra Polo’s got 2 out of the few most dominant players in this tournament. Diogo Gallego and Pelayo Berazadi. We would have loved a mix of Diogo, Pelayo and Facu...
​
WOLVES
ZONE B - 4TH
Ok Wolves...we don’t know what it is to be honest. They have a lovely name; Dubai Wolves. Their patron's got very fresh looks, and has his name as his surname. How cool is that?
