Brigadier VP Singh
Brigadier VP Singh, a man who is remembered globally for his achievements in Polo
A Sword of Honour and gold medallist at the Indian Military Academy, he had a brilliant military career and commanded 61 Cavalry, his parent regiment and the President’s Bodyguard with great distinction. Under his tutelage as the national coach, the Indian team reached the finals of the World Cup in Argentina.
With the Brigadier VP Singh Memorial COA Polo Cup, the trophy stands in memory of an outstanding sportsman, a dedicated cavalryman, a great leader of men and an extraordinary modest human being who let his deeds do the talking for him. It has been presented by his elder sister Mrs Sushil Jai Singh, whose steadfast support and encouragement he greatly valued.
The Cavalry Officers Association recognises his great contribution to Indian sport with the institution of the annual Brigadier VP Singh Memorial COA Polo Cup.
The Brigadier VP Singh Memorial Cup came to life after the finals of Cavalry Gold Cup on 10th Feb 2019 at Jaipur Polo Ground.
