His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, competed in several polo games throughout the day as captain of the U.S. Polo Assn. Team against the BP Healthcare Team and the Brand Machine Group Team. In an exciting round robin format, The Prince of Wales defended the title he won last year with U.S. Polo Assn., but the team left it late, a last-minute penalty goal against BP Healthcare saw the U.S Polo Assn. team win the tournament on goal difference following a driving attack from The Prince of Wales.
The annual high-profile philanthropic event raised more than £1 million for 11 important charities that are supported by The Prince and Princess of Wales. Today's contribution takes the total raised from Royal Charity Polo Days played in the U.K. over the last 13 years to more than £13 million.
Those charities include: SHOUT, Wales Air Ambulance, Mountain Rescue England and Wales, Child Bereavement UK, Royal African Society, Place2Be, Action for Children, The Motor Neurone Disease Association, The Blackthorn Rally, HMS Oardacious and The Royal Marsden.
"As the Official Apparel and Team Sponsor for the Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup since 2019, it is an honor to have The Prince of Wales captain the U.S. Polo Assn. Team," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "We proudly support this distinguished event alongside our U.K. partner, BMG, with its goal to support many important charities, and congratulate all of the teams for their great athleticism on the field."
In its sixth consecutive year supporting the prestigious event, U.S. Polo Assn. provided custom-designed performance jerseys for all participating polo players, umpires, and flaggers with the sport brand's iconic double horsemen logo. Attendees of the event were gifted exclusive U.S. Polo Assn. branded merchandise, including handcrafted silk scarves, pocket squares and special event caps.
"BMG is proud to be part of the prestigious 2024 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup once again as the official U.K. partner of U.S. Polo Assn.," said Boo Jalil, CEO of Brand Machine Group. "It was an honor to be an Official Team Sponsor for this important philanthropic event and to raise awareness and funds in support of these charities, as we build the connection between the U.S. Polo Assn. brand, the sport of polo, and consumers within the U.K."
Guards Polo Club is one of only four polo clubs in the United Kingdom that stage elite tournaments, such as the Royal Charity Polo Cup. Founded in 1955 as the Household Brigade Polo Club, with His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as President, the name was changed to the Guards Polo Club in 1969 and celebrates over six decades of premier polo.
