Polo field dimensions: The key to a premium experience at Mandarina

Polo is more than just a sport; it’s an art form that requires precision and skill, as well as a perfect playing environment. One of the most important factors in a thrilling polo game is the dimensions of the polo field. At Mandarina, the polo fields are designed to meet the highest international standards, offering players and spectators alike world-class experience.

The ideal size for a polo field is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide, allowing for the strategic play and high-speed action that define the sport. This vast space gives players enough room to show off their agility and coordination, and the stunning backdrop of the Polo and Equestrian Club at Mandarina enhances every match.

The rich history of polo: A sport of tradition and elegance

Often referred to as the “sport of kings,” polo has a history that spans over 2,000 years. It originated in ancient Persia, where it was used as a training exercise for cavalry soldiers. Over the centuries, it spread to different parts of the world and evolved into a sophisticated, competitive sport played by royalty and aristocrats. Today, polo remains synonymous with elegance, precision, and exclusivity.

The rules of the game are as follows: A blend of strategy and speed

Polo is played by two teams of four players, who try to score by hitting a small ball into the opponents’ goal with a mallet. It is a fast-paced game that requires a combination of skill, timing, and teamwork.

The field is divided into two halves. Each team must work strategically to maintain possession of the ball and score goals, all the while respecting the “line of the ball” and the “right of way.”
