Lía Aranguren
Handicap Rating
Biography
Lía Aranguren is a pioneering figure in Argentine women's polo and one of the highest-rated female players to emerge from South America in the modern era. With a 6-goal AAP handicap, she occupies an elite tier that very few women anywhere in the world have reached, and her achievement is a testament to years of intensive competitive development within Argentina's demanding polo environment. Lía competes in the Argentine Women's Open and other major South American women's tournaments, and she has also competed internationally, appearing in European women's polo events and FIP-sanctioned competitions. Her game is shaped by the Argentine tradition — technically sound, tactically intelligent, and fiercely competitive — and she is equally at home in both outdoor grass polo and arena formats. She is regarded within Argentina as one of the most important ambassadors for women's polo, and her performances have directly influenced the handicap ceiling expectations for future generations of Argentine women players. As FIP continues to invest in the women's game globally, Lía Aranguren stands as one of its most compelling success stories.
