BMW i3 and i8 here soon

This exhilarating tournament is set to kick off with the first Test at the Durban Shongweni Club on September 7 and the second Test at the spacious Waterfall Polo Estate, Johannesburg on September 14.

This year marks a milestone in the event’s heritage as BMW SA celebrates its 25-year partnership with the SA Polo Association.

Antonio Antela Martinez, BMW SA’s director of sales and marketing, said: “As one of the longest-running consecutive sports sponsorships in South Africa, we are yet again proud to be part of the 2014 tournament. Our brand represents dynamism, innovation and beautiful aesthetics.

“With that, the characteristics of the BMW International Polo Series certainly mirror the BMW core values.

“This year will also mark the first official public appearance of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 ahead of their local launch next year. With these cars, the BMW Group is revolutionising individual mobility,” added Martinez.

This year, spectators can look forward to the compelling tests that will see the US national polo team and recently announced South African team compete for victory.

The American visitors have previously toured South Africa and have been victorious on three of their five visits.

Tickets for the match at the Shongweni Club will start from R80 per person for the West Bank General Admission and R50 per person for the East Bank General Admission.

General tickets for the match at the Waterfall Polo Estate in Johannesburg will start from R120.
