Opened in 1928, the Campo Argentino de Polo isn’t just a polo field. It’s a cathedral of sport, a cultural icon, pulsating in the heart of Palermo, Buenos Aires. Known as the “Cathedral of Polo”, this place has seen history unfold, from nail-biting matches to electrifying concerts. Imagine the roar of the crowd as 30,000 people gather, witnessing the world’s best polo players compete in the Campeonato Argentino Abierto de Polo. This prestigious tournament, the most important on the international polo circuit, has graced this very field since the stadium’s inauguration. The Campo Argentino de Polo has also echoed with the music of legends. Think Metallica, Paul McCartney, Shakira, and Phil Collins, all gracing this very stage. Originally, this land housed the Sociedad Sportiva Argentina stadium. In 1914, the Argentine government reclaimed it, passing it to the National Army. The Army then constructed two polo fields, known as “canchas”, and on October 27, 1928, the Campo Argentino de Polo was born, marked by a match between civilian and military teams. Interestingly, the land is still owned by the Army, who lease it to the Argentine Polo Association. So, as you stand before this iconic venue, remember, you’re not just at a polo ground. You’re at the Campo Argentino de Polo, a testament to the enduring power of sport and music, a vibrant thread in the rich tapestry of Buenos Aires.
