From February 3 to 18, 2024, the U.S. Open Women´s Polo Championship, the highest competition in the United States, aimed at teams of 18 – 22 handicap goals.
The Port Macaya Club and the National Polo Center, in Florida, are the great stages where the teams compete for glory.
The defending champion is La Fe, who in the 2023 edition formed with Winifred Branscum, Pamela Flanagan, Hope Arellano and Hazel Jackson, so he has the challenge of staying at the top.
Among the most prominent players are the Argentine Mia Cambiaso and Lia Salvo; as well as the American and British Hazel Jackson, Isabelle Parsons, Milly Hine and Hope Arellano, recent winners of the Women’s Open.
