The Polo Gold Cup 2008 in the Emerald Coast.

Following the extraordinary success of Cortina Winter Polo on Snow, the Polo Gold Cup 2008, is ready to land in Porto Cervo for the second venue which will take place at the end of April.

The Costa Smeralda Spring Polo Jaeger Le Coultre Gold Cup 2008 will be staged from 23rd April to 3rd May on a deep green playingfield set between the granite rock faces surrounding Porto Cervo. The GoldCup will be played by six teams in a highly spectacular challenge with flavours of daring action and sport seasoned with – as it usually happens in all polo tournaments – touches of elegance, fashion, and glamour.

This is only the third year that Sardinia is playing host to the event, but the Porto Cervo Gold Cup is now considered amongst the most prestigious international meetings and has been entered in the Gotha of the great international events.

Actually, it is rather hard to resist the charm of Sardinia and of its Emerald Coast. Last year, guests from many Countries accepted the invitation of the Organising Committee, attracted as they were by the welcoming hospitality and the excellent organisation. The tournament has become famous all over the world and now the most experienced teams from Europe and the United States are on the “waiting list” to be able to enter the next tournaments. There are two polo tournaments in Sardinia in 2008. The second event will be staged in July from 6th to 13th.

The success of the event was guaranteed by the ancestral passion of the Sardinian people for horses was fundamental to attract hundreds of spectators who crowded the enthusiastic followers: all of them passionate about Polo. U.S. tycoon Tom Barrack is also a great supporter and promoter of this ancient sport in Sardinia – records in Asia date back over 2000 years.
