Anyone who thinks polo is only for the British aristocracy is wrong. In the heart of Amsterdam, right between the Rijksmuseum and the Concertgebouw, a temporary polo field is rising this weekend that underscores the city's international character. Museumplein Polo Amsterdam is a unique lifestyle event where top sports, fashion, gastronomy and culture meet - and where the city shows its most elegant side.
"Polo is more than sport - it's a lifestyle. And that lifestyle fits perfectly with a city like Amsterdam: international, culturally rich and always on the move."
The idea behind Museumplein Polo Amsterdam is as ambitious as it is stylish: bring the classic elegance of polo to the cultural heart of the Netherlands. And it does so with flair. The impressive arena accommodates thousands of visitors, who can count on culinary delights, champagne bars, and an impressive lineup of national and international guests in addition to breathtaking matches.
On the grass, top teams from home and abroad play against each other in flashy chukkers, accompanied by the characteristic hoofbeats of polo ponies. But there is more than sports alone: the event is a visual feast. Think stylish outfits, hat parades and an audience as mixed as the city itself - from BN'ers to creative entrepreneurs and international guests.
The program is carefully curated and also provides space for networking, drinks and celebrating the good life. Between matches, enjoy performances, DJ sets and fine dining in the VIP lounges. All against the iconic backdrop of Museum Square - a rare contrast between city bustle and equestrian elegance.
