Camilo Castagnola and La Natividad at the British Open Gold Cup in Cowdray Park
The English polo season continues with one of the most anticipated tournaments of the year: the British Open Gold Cup, held at the historic Cowdray Park Polo Club. Also known simply as the Gold Cup, this championship stands as one of the most prestigious events on the international polo calendar. Once again, La Natividad’s talent is on full display through the performance of Camilo Castagnola.
Cowdray Park: The Heart of British Polo Tradition
Located in West Sussex, Cowdray Park Polo Club is widely regarded as the birthplace of high-goal polo in the United Kingdom. Since 1956, the British Open Gold Cup has brought together the world’s top players, solidifying its reputation as a must-attend event on the European polo circuit. A unique blend of heritage, high-level organization, and stunning natural surroundings makes this tournament a landmark of the sport.
Camilo Castagnola and the Dubai Polo Team
For the 2025 edition of the Gold Cup, Camilo Castagnola is representing the Dubai Polo Team, led by Rashid Albwardy. The team enters the tournament with a 22-goal handicap and a dynamic lineup that blends youth and experience. Camilo, rated at 10 goals, brings his trademark aggressive, precise, and elegant playing style, establishing himself as one of the standout figures of the global polo scene.
The Dubai–La Natividad Connection
The relationship between Dubai Polo and La Natividad goes far beyond sponsorship. It’s a strategic alliance grounded in shared values: sporting excellence, dedication to horse care, and a commitment to promoting Argentine polo on the global stage. During the Argentine Triple Crown, Dubai serves as the main sponsor of La Natividad, reinforcing a partnership that also flourishes during the British season.
World-Class Competition at the Gold Cup
Competing in the British Open Gold Cup means facing off against the most competitive teams in the world, in matches that demand peak technical and physical performance. Once again, Camilo has shown his maturity and brilliance by leading Dubai through key matches, delivering plays that are already among the tournament’s highlights. His vision, mallet control, and deep connection with his horses make every game a true spectacle.
La Natividad: The Present and Future of Global Polo
Having a player like Camilo performing at the highest level at Cowdray Park speaks volumes about the work La Natividad has been doing both in Argentina and abroad. Since its inception, the team led by the Castagnola family has been committed to sporting excellence, exceptional horse breeding, and building a brand identity that now resonates worldwide.
A Tournament to Remember
The British Open Gold Cup runs through mid-July, with the grand final scheduled for Sunday, July 20. Fans can follow the matches online or attend in person to experience the magic of Cowdray Park.
