Julian de Lusarreta

Biography

Julian de Lusarreta is one of Argentina's accomplished 9-goal professionals, a player whose career has been built around the Cañuelas circuit and the mid-tier Argentine polo ecosystem that runs beneath the very highest level of the Palermo open season. His playing career represents the depth of Argentine polo talent — a level below the top 10-goalers but still operating at extraordinary quality compared to any other polo-playing nation. De Lusarreta plays primarily as a back, a position that demands a combination of long-hitting power, defensive discipline, and the ability to turn defence into attack with quick, accurate passes. His career in the Cañuelas circuit — which runs parallel to Palermo but at a slightly lower goal level — has given him extensive experience competing against high-quality Argentine professionals across extended team formats. On the international circuit, de Lusarreta has competed in England's high-goal season, in the USA, and across the European circuit, where his 9-goal rating makes him one of the strongest Argentine professionals available to patron teams seeking high-level reinforcements without the headline costs of the top 10-goalers. He has built lasting relationships with patron teams across multiple countries, providing the reliability and professionalism that underpins international polo's patron-professional model. His career has intersected with multiple generations of Argentine polo greatness, competing against and alongside players who have defined the sport at its highest level. Within Argentina, de Lusarreta is respected as a professional of the highest integrity — a player who prepares his horses immaculately, competes with complete commitment, and carries himself with the dignity that the sport's best Argentine professionals are known for. He continues to compete at high level both domestically and internationally, a consistent presence in the Argentine polo world whose career exemplifies the extraordinary depth of talent that makes Argentina the sport's unquestioned heartland.
