Ascona, September 13, 2026 – One week after the final of the 16th Ascona Polo Cup, the grandstands in Ascona are still standing. Only the sound has changed: where chukkas were counted seven days ago, the show jumpers of the CSI Ascona are now flying over the obstacles. The equestrian days at Lake Maggiore are in full swing – and the Polo Club Ascona is taking stock of its tournament. The result is clear: Team Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte wins the arena polo tournament undefeated – in its debut as a team sponsor. Silver goes to Team Private Fine, also a debutant, and bronze to the defending champion Styger & Partner AG. Three days of polo on sand, six teams from five nations, over 80 horses, a well-attended public grandstand in the middle of the "Swiss Village of the Year" – and a symbolic baton that was passed from polo to show jumping and is currently being carried forward. The 17th Ascona Polo Cup 2027 is in planning.

### Three days that were over much too quickly

Those who were sitting in the Polo Arena Ascona on Friday, September 4th, could hardly believe that the trophy was already being presented on Sunday evening. A week later, the weekend still resonates – with the teams, the partners, and the guests, many of whom stayed on and are now sitting in the same stands for the show jumping. In Ascona, what defines polo in Ticiwas condensed: sport in a confined space, speed, emotion, and proximity to the audience. Beach party "simply white" on Friday, parade through the historic town center and gala "Welcome to the Jungle!" on Saturday, final on Sunday. Three moods, three days – and a weekend that stays with you.

### Ascona Polo Cup Winner 2026: Changing of the guard on the sand

The big question before the tournament was: Will Styger & Partner take their third title in a row? The final provided the answer. Team Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte won all three matches and decided the decisive duel against Private Fine 13.5:9 in their favor. Team Private Fine took second place in their debut – including an 8:7 victory over the defending champion on Saturday. Styger & Partner AG secured third place with a 10:5 win against PKB Private Bank.

At the award ceremony, the two-time winner from the previous years handed over the handmade challenge trophy to Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte. For years, this piece by a Swiss artist has traveled from winning team to winning team – and with it, fame, pride, and tournament history. That a champagne house was able to celebrate the title on its very first participation could hardly have been more fitting.

> “Two team sponsors in their first participation and immediately on the top two podium spots – that is coincidence. The Ascona Polo Cup is growing in terms of sport, partnerships, and its appeal far beyond the region,” says Matteo Beffa, President of the Polo Club Ascona.

### Arena Polo in Ascona: Polo for everyone, in the middle of the village

In many places, polo is considered a sport for the few. Ascona proves the opposite. Arena polo is played on sand, three against three, on a field measuring 80 × 50 meters – right in the middle of the town, directly on Lake Maggiore. The audience sits by the sand, hears the horses snorting, and understands the game in just a few minutes. On Saturday, families from Ascona, Locarno, and the entire Ticiregion stood on the sidelines alongside guests from all over Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. Announcer Jan-Erik Franck, "The Voice of Polo," guided the audience through the rules, tactics, and pace – and turned spectators into fans.

The welfare of the horses was once again the top priority in 2026: from the stable organization and the sure-footed sand surface mixed with felt pieces to the rhythm of use in the chukkas.

### Passing the baton: From polo to show jumping

The final act of the Ascona Polo Cup 2026 did not belong to a team, but to the region. After the final, the Polo Club Ascona symbolically passed the baton to Renato [Nachname] from CSI Ascona – a sign that the equestrian days at Lake Maggiore continue. Four days later, the 33rd edition of the international show jumping tournament CSI Ascona began on the former airfield, featuring riders from over 20 nations – and concludes today, September 13. Ten days of equestrian sports in Ascona, as announced: first polo, then show jumping.

Polo and show jumping go hand in hand in Ascona. Two disciplines, two tournaments, one common foundation: a love for horses, horsemanship, and respect for the animal – as well as a connection to a region that supports both events. The newly organized 2026 Ascona Polo Cup served as the prelude to these equestrian days, with the CSI Ascona as their highlight. Those who love horses were best off staying for ten days – and many did exactly that.

### The region as the winner

Ten days of equestrian sports meant full hotels, restaurants, and shops for Ascona–Locarno, guests from all over Switzerland, Italy, and Germany – and images that travel the world: horses on the Piazza, the lake in the background, the "Swiss Village of the Year" as a stage. Here, sport is both an economic engine and an identity. Michela Ris, Deputy Mayor of Ascona, put it this way in advance: the Polo Club creates a sense of belonging, inspiration, and a form of quality of life that extends far beyond the event itself. After these ten days, it is clear: this applies equally to polo and show jumping.

### Every franc helps children

The Ascona Polo Cup is the most important event of the year for the Styger Foundation for Children. The proceeds from the raffle and auction go entirely to children's projects in Switzerland. Those who celebrate in Ascona give something back.

### New in 2026: Digital table booking and a dedicated media house

For the first time, guests reserved their tables for the gala and hospitality via the new Ascona table booking system – direct, digital, and without detours. Developed from within the Polo Club Ascona, the system is the first building block of a modular platform intended to accompany polo events in the future, from table reservation to live scoreboards. The tournament was complemented by the inaugural APC newspaper, APC-TV featuring match highlights and atmosphere, as well as the news portal news.poloclubascona.ch, where results, interviews, and images remain available even now, after the tournament.

### Thanks to everyone who helped out

The Polo Club Ascona thanks the players, the grooms and stable teams, the referees, and the helpers on the sidelines, in the kitchen, and behind the bar. The team sponsors Private Fine, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, Charly Zenger, PKB Private Bank, Styger & Partner AG, and Seven Group. The approximately twenty partners from Switzerland, Germany, and France, including Oona Caviar, Blackforest Polo Gin, Delea Vini, and Seven Catering. The municipality of Ascona, the CSI Ascona, and the region that support these equestrian sports days. And the guests who set the tone with their enthusiasm.

### Outlook: Ascona Polo Cup 2027 – the 17th APC is in planning

After the APC26 comes the APC27. The 17th Ascona Polo Cup is being planned for September 2027; the date will be announced on www.poloclubascona.ch announced. Nicolas Feuillatte takes the title, Private Fine and Styger & Partner have a score to settle – and the Polo Arena Ascona is waiting for next September. Anyone who wants to be there, as a guest, as a team, or as a partner: the first conversations are starting now.
