The 46th International Polo Tournament in Sotogrande is the third Grand Slam polo event of the year: the high competitive value that distinguishes it, attracts the best players and the best teams in the world.

In Sotogrande, Maserati has a strong presence within the various facilities of the Santa Maria Polo Club, with a lounge, four VIP terraces and a Maserati Store.

Maserati has unveiled the GranCabrio Sport MY18 exclusively at the Santa Maria Polo Club in Sotogrande. The stylish convertible with its restyled exterior in 16 colours and 13 interior colours, is available in leather or Alcantara and makes its debut in Spain. It is considered the ultimate expression of Maserati’s passion, sportiness and craftsmanship and remains unique in the supercar segment thanks to its timeless design and comfortable 4-seat interior.

Venezuelan businessman and Lechuza Caracas patron Victor Vargas was awarded the best player trophy, while Marquita was named the best pony. Spanish top model Nieves Alvarez arrived at the Santa Maria Polo Club in a Maserati Ghibli and she said after the game: "I'm delighted to be here in Sotogrande again: I love horses and polo. It is a real privilege to hand over the Maserati Silver Cup to Victor Vargas and his team Lechuza Caracas after such a high octane match. Maserati and Polo share the same values: dedication, passion, performance and a quest for perfection, it’s a match made in heaven."
