VistaJet Bombardier Polo Team’s Guillermo Cuitino is looking forward to playing some “serious” polo this weekend.
The Argentine six-goal player takes his place alongside Mohammed Al Habtoor and Habtoor Al Habtoor for the Julius Baer Beach Polo Cup 2014 and is predicting a competitive tournament.
“It will be a great tournament because the competition will be hard,” Cuitino told Sport360°. “They are not going to be exhibition games, it is going to be a proper tournament and that’s what I like. Normally, you hear polo on the beach or in the snow and it’s more of an exbition but this is a serious tournament.”
Cuitino has played with the father and son Al Habtoors for the past five years, and he believes theirfamiliarity could be a recipe for success on the sand at Skydive Dubai.
“I think we have a great team,” he added. “I have played with them [the Al Habtoors] before many times and we know each other, they are both good players.
“I know what they can do, I am really positive. I think we have a great team and a really good chance to be in the final.”
All the patrons and players that will take part in this weekend’s event took part in a parade on Dubai’s JBR The Walk yesterday, before being given a tour of the polo grounds.
“It’s going great,” said an impressed Cuitino. “The stadium is fantastic. It’s really well done and it looks like it’s going to be a really good event.”
