Polo Club Landsberg
This season, the Polo Club Landsberg, located in Bavaria, Germany, is under the direction of the Argentinian-based organization La Pava Grande, led by Cirilo Allende, Segundo Copello, and Agustín Guevara. Known for its mix of Gaucho spirit and German tradition, the club is opening its gates in 2025 with new leadership, fresh ideas, and a deep dedication to spreading the passion for polo.

3. What are the club's main goals for the 2025 season?
