For the past week, Argentina was home to the first-ever women’s polo World Cup. The event, held from April 9 to 16, included teams from Argentina, the United States, England, Ireland, Brazil and Italy. Italian-Argentine polo player Camila Rossi plays for Italy. Ten years ago, she said, there were no teams for girls. When she started the sport, she played on boys’ teams. Back then, she added, the boys gave her funny looks. For American Erica Gandocomar, the tournament is “a dream come true.” She said that for a long time, leaders of the sport in the United States refused to start a women’s team. “Polo has been dominated by men for a long time,” she said. “And now … women are being heard.” Horacio Areco is the Argentina president of the International Polo Federation. He said it is “impressive how many women started playing” in recent years.
