The Hong Kong Polo Team was founded out of our pure enthusiasm for the sport, towards the end of 2013, by Asia World Polo; we played our first friendly in November that same year in Thailand. At the time, we realised that because of the lack of polo facilities in Hong Kong, it was the only major city in the world without a polo club or polo team.
