The final of the UAE Polo Federation Cup will be played next Sunday, a tournament that is being played entirely on the fields of the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club. After it was announced yesterday afternoon that AM Polo was one of the finalists after beating Habtoor Polo, today its rival was defined in the final that will determine who is the grand champion of the competition. In addition, the second subsidiary semi-final was also played, where El Basha would know its rival in the final.
In the semi-final to define the finalist of the UAE Polo Federation Cup, UAE faced Abu Dhabi. A duel that in the preview seemed even and entertaining. This was the case during the first chukker, where there was parity, but then the team led from the back by Hugo Barabucci began to deploy its best weapons. This added to several infractions committed by UAE, opened the door for Abu Dhabi to increase the score in their favor. In this way, Faris Al Yabouni’s team managed to get into the final with a score of 7 to 3.5.
To close the day, on court two, Bangash and Bin Drai faced each other for a place in the subsidiary final. The duel was even from start to finish, with Rashid Bin Drai alternating great runs and Tomasito Fernández Llorente’s powerful shots. The blue and yellow team managed to tip the balance in their favor in the third chukker and thus reach the end of the match a little more comfortably. It was 5-3.5 for Bin Drai who reached a new final.
