    La Asociación Alemana de Polo (DPV) es una asociación de jugadores que reúne a los clubes de polo legalmente responsables en Alemania y a sus miembros. La DPV se ha propuesto la tarea de promover el deporte del polo y representar los intereses de sus miembros. La asociación garantiza que los torneos y campeonatos se lleven a cabo correctamente y que se respeten en general las normas y reglamentos. El polo alemán continúa desarrollándose de manera constante: atléticamente, estructuralmente y como comunidad. Una vez más, podemos esperar torneos emocionantes, organizadores dedicados y muchas oportunidades para experimentar el polo en todas sus facetas: competitivo, justo e impulsado por una pasión genuina tanto por los caballos como por el deporte. Se prestará especial atención a la presencia nacional e internacional de nuestro deporte. Los equipos y jugadores alemanes están representados regularmente en torneos internacionales y llevan con orgullo el nombre de la DPV más allá de nuestras fronteras. Al mismo tiempo, nuestro objetivo sigue siendo ofrecer competiciones nacionales atractivas y campeonatos alemanes de un alto nivel deportivo constante. El desarrollo juvenil sigue siendo un pilar central del trabajo de nuestra asociación.

    Bentheimer Polo- und Country Club

    Bentheim, Germany

    Bentheimer Polo- und Country Club is Germany's premier polo venue in the western region, situated in the Lower Saxony countryside near the Dutch border. The club occupies an expansive estate and hosts some of the best polo grounds in northern Europe, drawing players and teams from Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium across a busy summer season. Its position straddling the Dutch border makes it a natural hub for Benelux polo, and the club has developed strong ties with the Royal Dutch Polo Association (KNPV) and German Polo Association (DPA). The tournament calendar includes the renowned Bentheimer International, which attracts high-goal teams from across Europe. The estate's country club atmosphere — combining sport with gastronomy and accommodation — makes it a favourite destination for polo weekends.

    Sylt Polo Club

    Sylt, Germany

    Sylt Polo Club is Germany's most glamorous polo destination, located on the exclusive North Sea island of Sylt — Germany's premier luxury holiday resort, known for its windswept beaches, designer boutiques, and sophisticated social scene. The club is best known as the home of the Beachpolo World Cup, one of polo's most spectacular and photographed events, in which matches are played on the beach itself with the North Sea as a backdrop — a format that has made Sylt polo internationally famous and attracted attention from fashion, luxury, and media industries across Europe. Beyond the beach polo spectacle, Sylt Polo Club also hosts the German Masters and operates a broader polo programme on the island's grass grounds. The social calendar around Sylt polo events is among the most glamorous in European sport, with hospitality events attracting celebrities, fashion brands, and media from across Germany and beyond. The island's exclusive character — Sylt is accessible only by train across a causeway or by plane, giving it a naturally exclusive feel — perfectly complements polo's image as a sport of sophistication and luxury. For players and spectators alike, polo on Sylt is as much about the experience and the setting as the sport itself.
