A Remarkable End To The 47th International Polo Tournament

The Maserati Gold Cup final that took place on Friday was a spectacular end to the Maserati Polo Tour. La Indiana Polo Team won over Lechuza Caracas in a nail-biting finale. The Maserati Gold Cup, the most prestigious of the three high handicap trophies to be awarded during the 47th International Polo Tournament in Sotogrande, held at the Santa Maria Polo Club, of which Maserati is the official car. Facundo Pieres was awarded the best player and highest goal scorer trophies, while Azucar was named the best pony.

Facundo Pieres (La Indiana) said after the game: “This final was our best game to date. Our opponents were really tough to beat: they played really well and had won the Silver Cup a couple of weeks ago. However, we found additional strengths to play an amazing fourth ‘chukker’ and were able to maintain our advantage till the end. I am extremely happy with this trophy, especially for the team, who have worked really hard for it. Winning the MASERATI Gold Cup is not something that happens every day, and with this win we start preparing for next season in Argentina with renewed enthusiasm and highly motivated”.

The 47th International Polo Tournament in Sotogrande (Spain) is the third Grand Slam polo event of the year: the high competitive value that distinguishes it – it’s played at 22 goal level and awards 150 points to the winner – attracts the best players and the best teams in the world.

The Sotogrande tournament is the last stage of the MASERATI Polo Tour 2018 in collaboration with La Martina, after St Moritz in Switzerland and Beaufort in the UK.
In their sumptuous interiors, Maserati introduces for the first time the full-grain Pieno Fiore leather, which is incomparable to any other material in the automotive industry for its natural, soft feel and the unique character it attains throughout the years. It is available in three colours – black, red and tan with specific stitching on the seats and double stitching on the door panels.

Exterior colour ranges have also been refreshed for MY19, with two new tri-coat colours now available, Rosso Potente and Blu Nobile. In the wide collection of alloy wheels designed specifically for every single Maserati model, there are five brand new designs in the MY19 catalogue in 20 and 21-inch sizes.
