"Arena polo is a very important element in the development of this discipline. Thanks to such tournaments, we can play more often, build player experience and develop polo also outside the traditional grass season. Poland Arena Masters shows that there is great potential in Poland for organizing such events."
— Marek Setkiewicz, owner of Silesia Polo Club and Chairman of the Polish Polo Association
FIP (Federation Internationale de Polo) - the international polo federation to which the Polish Polo Association belongs - actively promotes the development of arena polo, encouraging member countries to organize this type of competition, which allows playing for a greater part of the year and developing the sport also outside the main grass season.
