Global Polo Icon Nacho Figueras Headlines Star-Studded IPT Hotels at Sea® Celebrity Polo Showcase

Polo Lovers Gathered for the Official Prequel Match for September 19’s Sunset Polo™ White Lotus 250th Anniversary Invitational World Cup in Morven Park

LEESBURG, VA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrity polo, luxury travel, international cuisine, and global exploration all came together in a spectacular fashion as Hotels at Sea^® Luxury Cruises & Resorts at Sea^®, Official Travel Partner of the Circumnavigators Club^®, welcomed members of both the Circumnavigators Club^® and The Explorers Club^® to Virginia’s historic Morven Park for the official prequel of the IPT Sunset Polo™ White Lotus themed grand finale evening set for September 19th, 2026.

The night featured an extraordinary lineup of internationally-recognized players led by International Polo Tour^® Founder & Chairman Tareq Salahi, joined by Artemio Figueras and Delfina Figueras. Across the field, international polo icon Nacho Figueras led the Salesforce-sponsored team alongside Kristiane Pellegrino and Conner Marsden, creating one of the most anticipated celebrity polo matchups ever presented at Morven Park.

Artemio Figueras, the secret weapon for Hotels at Sea polo team and one of polo's brightest young rising stars (destined for 10 goals as well as the son of Nacho Figueras), showcased exceptional talent and horsemanship throughout the evening, while both teams delivered four thrilling chukkers of fast-paced, championship-caliber polo. Although the competition was spirited from start to finish, the evening wasn't about the final score, but rather about celebrating great sportsmanship, friendship, and the timeless traditions of the International Polo Tour^®.

Beyond the action on the field, guests experienced another signature element- a unique USA vs. Thailand Culinary Showcase, featuring flavors from both nations in celebration of global friendship and cultural exchange. Combined with luxury hospitality and spectacular polo, the evening created an atmosphere unlike any other sporting event in the region.
