History

Polo was introduced in the Philippines during the United States colonial administration of the islands. Governor General William Cameron Forbes is credited for building the Forbes Park, the first polo field in the Philippines and establishing the Manila Polo Club in 1909. Polo has only been accessible to the Filipino elite and senior military officers. Since then, the sport has been proliferated by rich influential families such as the Elizalde and Zobel families and political families such as the Romeros.[1]

National team

The Philippines national polo team is organized and controlled by the Philippine National Federation of Polo Players (PNFPP), an associate member of the Philippine Olympic Committee since 2020.[2][3] It has competed in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games where it won a silver and a bronze,[4] and at the 2020 All Asia Cup where it finished as runners-up.[5]
