Homegrown luxury lifestyle brand Shanghai Tang will serve as the official partner of the Shanghai Tang Polo Cup at the Longines Masters of Hong Kong, the third leg of the intercontinental showjumping series.

Commonly known as the “Sports of Kings”, the prestigious game returns to our city after a 30-year hiatus from February 19 to 21 this year.

Four of the top international polo players along with Argentinian polo ponies will be invited to join the esteemed event.

The matches are to be held on each day prior or after show-jumping competitions with two teams of two players competing against each other for the Shanghai Tang Polo Cup.

This game marks Hong Kong’s first ever international indoor Polo Exhibition Tournament with its final match to be held before the Longines Grand Prix on February 21.

With an illustrious history dating back over 2500 years ago, horse polo once upon a time served as a source of entertainment and training employed by the renowned Mongolian war strategist and national hero Genghis Khan. The sport has since epitomised one’s courage, elegance and physical prowess.  

Drawing inspiration from the way that polo tests ingenuity and courage, Shanghai Tang has been supporting the celebrated sport in Outer Mongolia.
