Thank you for a beautiful look. Polo certainly changes when you watch the play of other big polo countries - everyone has a way. But the riding style of the players in your video is joy to watch. All the best

@bck70 Polo has been played in Chitral and Gilgit since time immemorial. It is also played in neighbouring regions like Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang (all places where the British never stepped foot in).
Polo has been played in this region for as long as it has been played in Manipur (I think the Manipuris learned it from the Tibetans who in turn learned it from the Chinese). The polo ground in Chitral has been in use since the 1500's.

inshalllha !! Gilgit will win the up coming tournament ,,,

Polo in Afghanistan was introduced by the British from Manipur. This is not the true polo country. If visitors want to see the original polo come to Manipur, the 3000 yrs champion of this game. Polo is an inseparable part of the Manipuri religion.

ooh i love watching a polo match between chitral and Gilgit, but rest of the polo teams are boring. i think Prince charles' favourite team is Gilgit.

By the way Chitral wears red while Gilgit wears either blue or green

the ancient persian played a game with a slughtered goat or sheep, which is still played in afghanistan and pakistan and its called " Buz Kashi" not Polo. people in other countries cant differentitate between Polo and "Buz Kashi". Polo was originated in Chitral (Pakistan) and "Buz Kashi" in persia.
