Racecourse comments ‘we feel privileged that our Polo Club has been selected as the new venue to host the Audi International for the upcoming season. Tis will allow a new audience to witness and enjoy the thrills of the International Polo – we’re confident that it will become a highlight on the Chester Racecourse social calendar attracting large numbers’ For the upcoming UK polo season (May to
September), the Hurlington Polo Association (HPA) the sport’s governing body, supporting Audi, the premium car company, have together created a brand new series of polo internationals to be known as the ‘Audi International Polo Series’ Te newly created series will feature the three
internationals for the season with each taking place at different venues across the country. It will include the newly named Audi International at Guards Polo Club and the Audi International at Beaufort Polo Club. “Te additional Audi-supported match days
will allow us to organise – for the first time ever – an exciting and more cohesive programme of Internationals during the England polo season up and down the country. We are delighted with the addition of the Audi International in Chester. Audi’s investment also gives us the opportunity of providing first class training programmes
and facilities not only for the top England professionals but also the young rising stars of the sport via its support for Pony Club Polo,” comments David Woodd of the HPA. Head of PR for Audi UK, Jon Zammett
added, ‘Tis is very exciting development. Polo delivers on ideal, high end, yet hard to reach target audience, for Aud. It’s also a fast growing sport with both players and spectators rising markedly. In the last 10 years, UK player numbers have increased by over a third and the number of polo clubs has almost doubled’ Te investment by Audi in the International
Polo Series, together with its existing sponsorship of the England Polo team, will make the car company the biggest supporter of polo in the UK. In conjunction with this high calibre event and as a result of the increasing popularity of Te Coutts International held at Chester Racecourse for the past eight years, Te Roodee Challenge Cup will be played in conjunction with Audi event and will be hotly contested by four teams from the North West.
