Africa Cup

About the Tournament

The Africa Cup is the continent's premier international polo championship, bringing together national teams from across Africa to compete for the title of African champion. The tournament is a cornerstone of the African polo calendar and reflects the remarkable growth of the sport across a continent where polo has a history stretching from the colonial-era clubs of South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe through to newer polo communities in Morocco, Egypt, and beyond. The Africa Cup promotes pan-African polo development and provides a competitive stage for players who otherwise compete primarily within their domestic national structures. South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe have historically been the dominant nations, but the field has broadened in recent editions as polo infrastructure develops across more African countries. The tournament serves both as a competitive event and as a catalyst for the broader African polo community, encouraging investment in horses, facilities, and coaching across the continent.
