Three-Day Polo Festival Welcomes Over 30,000 Global Attendees to Hurlingham Park

U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), proudly served once again as the Official Apparel and Jersey Partner for Chestertons Polo in the Park, one of the world’s largest and most iconic polo lifestyle festivals. Held June 6-8, 2025, at the historic Hurlingham Park in the heart of London, this year’s edition welcomed over 30,000 attendees across three thrilling days of international polo, sport-inspired fashion, and family-friendly entertainment.

As the Official Apparel and Jersey Partner, U.S. Polo Assn. outfitted all participating teams of the weekend, as well as staff uniforms. The brand also hosted an immersive on-site experience for event attendees, featuring a vibrant U.S. Polo Assn. merchandise tent showcasing official co-branded event apparel, a polo-inspired photo wall, and interactive brand models, along with contests and cap giveaways.

Now in its 15th year, Chestertons Polo in the Park is the only polo event played in central London and continues to grow in prestige and popularity as Europe’s largest three-day polo and lifestyle event with action-packed polo games, food festivals, luxury shopping, entertainment, and more. The highly anticipated weekend kicked off with International Day on Friday, as England faced Argentina, alongside six world-class polo teams representing different global cities, followed by Saturday’s Ladies Day, and the culminating event on Sunday with Finals and Family Day, drawing crowds of polo enthusiasts from the U.K. and across the globe. Team Riyadh won the weekend’s tournament against Akrham Team Punta Cana with a score of 10-5, and Cesar Crespo from Team Riyadh was awarded Tournament MVP.

“Chestertons Polo in the Park is a one-of-a-kind event that brings together the spirit of polo, our U.S. Polo Assn. brand, and the energy of London in a fun, stylish, and accessible way,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Our sponsorship reinforces the authentic connection between our brand and the sport of polo while helping us further engage U.K. consumers in one of our most important and fastest-growing markets.”

The global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand continues to expand across the United Kingdom with store openings at McArthurGlen’s East Midlands and Cheshire Oaks and additional brick-and-mortar locations planned in the coming years. U.K. consumers can also explore the brand’s latest sport-inspired styles for men, women, and children at www.uspoloassn.co.uk.

“As the strategic partner of U.S. Polo Assn. in the U.K., Chestertons Polo in the Park is an ideal platform to showcase our sport-inspired brand’s connection to historic English polo,” said Boo Jalil, CEO of Brand Machine Group, U.S. Polo Assn.’s U.K. licensing partner. “This annual celebration not only builds brand visibility in a meaningful way, but also highlights the fun, fashion-forward, and approachable spirit of U.S. Polo Assn.”

Set against the backdrop of one of polo’s most historic venues – Hurlingham Park, where the sport was first played in 1874, the event reflects decades of tradition, including hosting the 1908 Olympic Polo Final and multiple Westchester Cup matches between the United States and England.

“U.S. Polo Assn. is the perfect fit for Chestertons Polo in the Park, and we value the continued support,” said Rory Heron, Managing Director of Sportgate International, the founding organizer of the event. “The brand’s meaningful connection to the game and globally recognized style brings authenticity, accessibility, and innovative activations to our spectacular annual celebration of sport and lifestyle in London.”

An Electric Game Watched Live by a Record-Breaking Crowd
Thousands of fans at NPC witnessed the action-packed final game of the Gauntlet of Polo® tournament series, which included the C.V. Whitney Cup®, the USPA Gold Cup®, and the U.S. Open Polo Championship. In a year that delivered record-breaking crowds week in and week out, the thrilling final was filled with great plays from the world’s best players on both teams, La Dolfina Tamera featuring 10-goal player Adolfo Cambiaso; Diego Cavanagh; Matt Coppola; and Alejandro Poma, and La Dolfina Catamount featuring 10-goal player Poroto Cambiaso; Jesse Bray; Rufino Merlos and Scott Devon. For the second year in a row, the U.S. Open Polo Championship Final presented an epic showdown between two of the world’s top polo players who are also father and son.

Adolfo, age 50, who has been defeated in the last two U.S. Open Finals, the last one being to his son, Poroto, age 19, reclaimed victory in this game to take home his 10th U.S. Open title. It was just this week that Adolfo turned 50, thus reclaiming the championship trophy as his perfect birthday present. Adolfo is considered the best polo player in history, having also won more than 17 titles in the Argentine Open Polo Championship, and is considered the “Greatest of All Time (GOAT)” beside other sports icons such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Tom Brady.

After some clutch goals by Poma in chukkers 3,4, and 5 and an impressive long goal from Adolfo, Tamera continued to have the lead. Though Poroto scored an incredible 5 goals overall, and Bray scored in the 6th and final chukker, both of Catamount, to bring it to 11-8, there just wasn’t enough time for a comeback. Tamera clinched their win with a thrilling goal by Coppola to make the final score 12-8. La Dolfina Tamera’s Poma won MVP, scoring a team-high 4 goals, with Adolfo scoring 3 goals.

“Congratulations to La Dolfina Tamera on a remarkable victory in the U.S. Open Polo Championship,” said Stewart Armstrong, Chairman of the USPA. “I would also like to thank and acknowledge all participating teams throughout the 2025 Season at NPC for leaving it all on the field for the sport.”

“Thank you to all of our patrons, players, sponsors, and sports fans for their passion and support for the sport of polo and the USPA this season,” Armstrong added.

Gome Retail Continues to Focus on Its Main Business and Actively Resolve Debt

– Accelerate Asset-Light Transformation and Advance New Business Initiatives

HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2025 – Gome Retail Holdings Limited (Stock code: 493.HK, “Gome Retail” or the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, “the Group”) announced its audited annual results during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”).

Focusing on the main industry to consolidate the border, take multiple measures to actively resolve the debt problem

In 2024, domestic economic recovery is weak, with asevere and complex external international environment compounded by domestic economic and policy cycle factors. Domestic demand remained sluggish, directly impacting the industry to which our group belongs, which continued to experience a downturn. In 2024, the Group recorded sales revenue of approximately RMB 474 million; and loss attributable to owners of the parent of approximately RMB11,629 million.

In 2024, Gome Retail continued to promote strategic transformation and upgrading and actively explored new businesses. However, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the government introduced several significant stimulus policies, the Group seizes opportunities and rides on the momentum, intensified efforts in model transformation and business innovations, such as franchise and quasi-franchise models and GOME Auto. In addition, recently, an agreement has been reached with JD on the CB debt disposal plan, which will clear all CB debts within two years through asset transfers and issuing shares.

Reinventing retail business, accelerate the expansion of franchise

Gome Retail accelerates its asset-light model and builds a closed loop of “brand authorization + supply chain empowerment + digital platform”. Regarding franchising, comprehensively open brand authorizations, focus on supply chain model innovation, shift from appliance franchising to comprehensive business format investment, quickly build online and offline franchise networks at all levels. In terms of franchising, based on equity cooperation, we will focus on encouraging single-store franchising with an operating model of “light assets, heavy operations, and strong management”, and build an “online and offline” pan-home appliance and surrounding franchise network for the entire industry with the city display stores display as the core.
