Polo in Germany
The German Polo Assocication (DPV) is a players' association that brings together the legally responsible polo clubs in Germany and their members. The DPV has set itself the task of promoting the sport of polo and representing the interests of its members. The association ensures that tournaments and championships are conducted properly and that the rules and regulations are generally observed. German polo continues to develop steadily – athletically, structurally, and as a community. Once again, we can look forward to exciting tournaments, dedicated organizers, and many opportunities to experience polo in all its facets: competitive, fair, and driven by a genuine passion for both horse and sport. A special focus remains on the national and international presence of our sport. German teams and players are regularly represented at international tournaments, proudly carrying the name of the DPV beyond our borders. At the same time, it remains our goal to offer attractive domestic competitions and German Championships of a consistently high sporting standard. Youth development continues to be a central pillar of our association’s work.
Polo in Germany
Germany has a well-organised polo scene governed by the Deutscher Polo Verband (DPV). The season runs from May through September, with the major concentration of activity in Berlin, Hamburg, and the surrounding regions. Notable summer events include the German Polo Masters, played at venues in Berlin and on the island of Sylt. The Polo Club Berlin-Mitte and Polo Club Hamburg are among the better-known venues. Germany's polo community draws from a strong equestrian culture and a network of medium-goal clubs that offer lessons and chukka play to both resident and visiting players.
