Sotogrande, 29 October 2025 - Guests and the Sotogrande community can experience the atmosphere, excitement, and social spirit of polo this winter through the Ayala Polo Academy’s Autumn League 2025.
The Autumn League, already under way at the renowned Ayala Polo Club, runs from Thursday to Sunday until 2 November, culminating in the exciting final.
Each Finals Sunday will feature competitive matches on Cancha 1, complemented by brunch at Cancha 2 and family-friendly activities including a Pitch & Putt experience by Sotogrande, and pony rides by the Ayala Polo Academy.
“The Autumn Polo Season captures what Sotogrande is all about - community, outdoor living, and authentic connection through sport,” said Rita Jordão, Marketing Director of Sotogrande SA. “Partnering with Ayala Polo Academy allows our guests and community to experience polo in an accessible and inspiring way, reinforcing Sotogrande’s position as a year-round destination for wellbeing and active living.”
Alongside the tournaments, the Ayala Polo Academy offers a range of experiences designed to make polo approachable for everyone – from private and semi-private lessons to instructional chukkas and immersive introductions for beginners.
“Our goal is to take the mystery out of polo,” said Richard Blake Thomas, Director of the Ayala Polo Academy. “Whether it’s your first lesson or your first tournament, Ayala provides the structure, horses, and support to help you grow as a player. We combine world-class coaching with a welcoming environment, so players can develop their skills at their own pace and enjoy the journey.”
