Semi-Final 1 (Gold Cup): Eleven Eleven vs La Bien Mirada 

Date: 25 July 

The exciting games began as Eleven Eleven faced the formidable La Bien Mirada. The former team kept it simple and scored consecutively to keep the action ticking. In no time, they had scored eight goals with a massive lead of five points by the third chukker (8-3). La Bien Mirada fought hard in the last chukker, but unfortunately lost the game by three points.

Winners: Eleven Eleven ( 10-7 )

Semi-Final 2 (Gold Cup): Nicava vs La Saga 

The second semi-final for the Ambassador’s Gold Cup was contested between Nicava and La Saga. Nicava swung their mallets and hit the bullseye almost every single time! They built up their lead with every chukker and won the game indisputably by a comfortable margin. 

Winners: Nicava ( 10-7 )

Final (Quilmes): Riva vs F Polo Team 

Date: 26 July 

A rather interesting subsidiary final (Quilmes) featured the sporting teams of Riva and F Polo Team. Both teams mirrored each other’s scores for the first three chukkers(1-1, 3-3, 5-5). The stakes were high in the final chukker, but Riva reigned supreme and won the Quilmes final, if only by a slim one-point margin!

Winners: Riva ( 7-6 )

Final (La Martina Silver): Battistoni vs La Saga vs La Bien Mirada 

Date: 27 July 

The spectators were in for a treat with triple the action in the final face-off for the La Martina Silver Cup; the thundering of hooves kept in tandem with the cheering crowds as Battistoni, La Saga, and La Bien Mirada played full throttle in this uniquely formatted final. It was Battistoni who conquered the hearts and cup, as the last team standing!

Winners: Battistoni ( 6-4 )

Bronze Final: Cria Del Mar vs VT Polo Team 

Date: 27 July 

Cria Del Mar faced the force of the VT Polo Team for the prestigious title of the Bronze Cup. For the first couple of games, both teams were in equal contention for the win. However, as soon as the second half kicked off, Cria Del Mar hammered in  a phenomenal five goals! This gave them the necessary push to not only win the game but also the Bronze Final.

Winners: Cria Del Mar ( 8-4 ) 

Gold Final: Eleven Eleven vs Nicava 

Date: 27 July 

The most awaited game of the Ambassador Cup had arrived. The warmest month of July in France sent chills down the spines during each seven and a half minutes of each chukker. Eleven Eleven had a tight grip on the game, keeping the lead to themselves in all chukkers. Nicava tried hard, but unfortunately, the day belonged to their opponents. Eventually, it was Eleven Eleven which won the highly prized Ambassadors Gold Cup 2025.

Winners: Eleven Eleven ( 8-6 )
