FIP Arena World Championship

About the Tournament

The FIP Arena World Championship is polo's premier international arena competition, organised by the Fédération Internationale de Polo (FIP) and contested between national teams across a round-robin and knockout format. Arena polo — played indoors or in enclosed arenas with three players per team, smaller fields, and a rubber ball — has its own distinct tactical language and athletic demands compared to grass polo. The FIP Arena World Championship showcases how arena polo has developed as a global discipline, with the USA, Argentina, Brazil, and European nations competing for the world title. The 2025 edition saw the USA defeat Argentina 16–14 in a tense final, affirming American dominance in the arena format.
