The Final of the 81st Argentine Pato (Horseball) Championship (Abierto Argentino de Pato), the most important tournament of this sport in Argentina, will take place on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at Campo Argentino de Polo in Palermo, at 4.00 PM, with the participation of the two best teams of our National Sport.

Pato (Horseball) is a traditional Argentine equestrian sport, practiced since the beginning of the XVII century, and declared as Argentina's National Sport in 1953. "Pato" is an exciting game that combines polo and basketball, and in which two teams made up of 4 players each, by a series of passes and combinations to elude their adversaries, try to introduce the "Pato" (Duck) through a vertical ring. The rings, located at the center of each end of the field, are 1 meter (3.3 ft) diameter, and are located on 2.4 m (7.9 ft) high poles. The "Pato" is a ball with six handles. The player that is in possession of the "Pato" must hold it and ride with his right arm extended, offering the rivals the opportunity to steal it.

Pato is a similar, but earlier version, of the game of Horseball played in France, Portugal, and other countries.

The Campo Argentino de Polo is located on Av. del Libertador & Dorrego, Palermo.

Tickets on sale at the stadium on the same day, from 2 pm.

The Argentine Polo Association (AAP) has announced the complete Schedule of tournaments in the Official 2023 Spring Polo Season. The program includes the three most important Polo tournaments worldwide, which make up the prestigious Triple Crown of Polo: Hurlingham Club Open - the oldest Polo tournament in the world; Tortugas Country Club Open; and the world-class Argentine Open Championship, played every year at the Cathedral of Polo in Palermo.
