Other participating sponsors supporting this critical initiative include Polo50 and the U.K. Armed Forces Polo Association, according to U.S. Polo Assn’s official release.“We are thrilled to partner with PoloAfrica to support these young aspiring players who have demonstrated dedication and the desire to learn the sport of polo,” said J. Michael Prince, president and CEO of USPA Global Licensing Inc., which manages U.S. Polo Assn. globally, as per the release. “We have a significant brand presence in both the United Kingdom and Africa, and believe this event is another authentic way to engage both sports fans and consumers in our key markets while supporting an important cause and the sport of polo.”“U.S. Polo Assn. continues to build momentum in the African market through collaborations with key partners such as PoloAfrica and Sentebale that support the sport of polo and important causes in the region,” said Andrew Robinson, CEO of Stable Brands, according to the release. “We are also very excited about the rapid expansion U.S. Polo Assn. is having in Africa and believe it will soon be one of the largest global brands in the market.”Twelve-year-old PoloAfrica operates from the foothills of the Maluti mountains in the Eastern Free State of South Africa, on the border of Lesotho. Created to benefit rural economically-disadvantaged communities, it provides adults the opportunity to engage in equestrian activities in a professional manner and provides children the chance to learn to ride and play polo. The chief goal is helping children expand their horizons, provided they maintain their schoolwork and demonstrate discipline and commitment to caring for the program's polo ponies, as per the release.The PoloAfrica team making this groundbreaking tour of the United Kingdom this summer includes players in the age group of 15 to 24. Tebello Mokoarane, Nkopane Nikopane, Johanne Mofokeng, Molefi Ralebenya, and Tinto Mothijoa are some of the names joining the team.https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
