Director of I/I Amy Fraser said, “The tradition we have been carrying on with our sister program SUPA (Schools and University Polo Association in the UK) is such a unique event, bringing together not only players from different countries, but also provides a chance for players from across our nation to compete together. It optimizes what polo is in the world, allowing players the opportunity to represent their school, the I/I program, the USPA and their country which is very special.”
