Habtoor Polo powers to victory to secure the AHPC Exhibition Match 2026 title

After the rainfall, there was no better way to welcome the sunshine than with a special AHPC Exhibition Match held this Sunday at Al Habtoor Polo Club. The match provided an important platform for our low-goal players to refine their skills, build confidence, and progress toward improving their handicaps. With professional players riding alongside them, each game becomes a valuable learning experience — offering insight from some of the very best in the sport.

The main event saw spectators enjoy an exciting clash between Habtoor Polo Team and Dubai Wolves by Thera – PBS. The opening chukkers began at a slower pace, as players adjusted to the conditions following the past few days of rain. However, as the match progressed, so did the intensity. After a closely contested start, with both teams level in the first two chukkers, Habtoor Polo Team demonstrated strong teamwork to gain momentum, extend their lead, and ultimately secure the win.
