US Open Polo Championship 2025 – Before the final LD Tamera vs. LD Catamount
The final of the 2025 US Open Polo Championship promises to be nothing short of electrifying, as La Dolfina/Tamera faces off against La Dolfina/Catamount. Two teams, one legendary foundation — but only one trophy.
La Dolfina/Tamera enters the final undefeated, with five wins in five matches, and stands as the tournament’s clear favorite. The team embodies precision, discipline, and tactical control. Led by polo icon Adolfo Cambiaso, they’ve shown how modern polo can be dominated through a foundation of classic strategy. Tamera plays with thoughtfulness, calm, and composure — every attack appears intentional, every defensive move perfectly coordinated. Supported by a well-synced squad and top-tier horses, they’ve established themselves as the team to beat.
In stark contrast, La Dolfina/Catamount’s path to the final was far more dramatic. After two early losses, many doubted their chances — but the team, led by Adolfo’s son, Poroto Cambiaso, found its rhythm just in time. Three straight wins brought a renewed sense of confidence and momentum, proving they could take down anyone. Catamount is all about youthful energy, creative attack, and fearless play. While Tamera is structured and methodical, Catamount plays fast, free, and at times unpredictably. Poroto Cambiaso symbolizes the future of polo — technically brilliant, physically explosive, and tactically bold.
What makes this final truly special is not just the high-quality sport on display, but the emotional and symbolic depth behind it. Father vs. son — Adolfo vs. Poroto — both from the same La Dolfina legacy, yet each representing a different style of play. It’s a generational clash that has the global polo community watching in anticipation. And while both teams wear the same iconic La Dolfina logo, their approach to the game couldn’t be more different. Tamera reflects the seasoned school of Argentine polo, all about control and structure. Catamount represents the next generation, bold, intuitive, and unpredictable.
On a global scale, this final carries weight because the US Open Polo Championship is North America’s most prestigious tournament — and one of the crown jewels of international polo. The fact that two La Dolfina teams are facing off in the final highlights the power and vision of Adolfo Cambiaso’s organization, which has managed to shape both the present and the future of the sport.
We’re set to witness a clash of styles at the highest level — a match full of emotion, pace, tactical brilliance, and history. Regardless of who takes home the trophy, one thing is certain: this final will be remembered. It’s about more than silverware. It’s about pride, legacy, family, and a sport that continues to connect tradition and innovation like few others.
The final will be played at the International Polo Club in Wellington, Florida — a must-watch event for anyone who lives and breathes polo.
