The final of the Hublot Polo Gold Cup tournament took place at the Polo Club Gstaad on August 16th and the victory has been shared between the two finalist teams: Team E.I. Sturdza Investment Funds and Team SIR. In fact, due to bad whether conditions, the officials concluded that it was too dangerous for the players and the horses to play a competitive final game; the format of the final has been changed to a 4-chukker exhibition match!
The specators had the chance to watch an amazing Swiss-themed parade and a magnificient air-display organized for the Hublot Polo Gold Cup 20th Anniversary!
