International Polo Tour® Brings Star Power, Cultural Legacy, & Celebration to September 19 Sunset Polo® White Lotus Cup
“Having the opportunity to share our love of polo while embracing Virginia’s historic culture has always been an honor, but this year is truly shaping up to be among the most special,” expressed Tareq Salahi, Chairman & Team Captain of the International Polo Tour®. “The 250th birthday of our beloved country is something we can’t wait to honor, and what better way to recognize the U.S.’s global impact than through a night platforming the beauty of unity, diverse culture, and true connection. We look forward to giving our fans an event they’ll never forget!”
Presented in association with SINGHA, the Thai American Association, and Hotels at Sea Luxury cruises (producing the new IPT White Lotus Asia cruise sailing January 13, 2027), this year’s IPT Sunset Polo™ will center on America’s bond with long-time ally Thailand, with the night’s aesthetics being inspired by luxurious Thai culture. The event will also welcome Dignitaries from Thailand, highlighting the joint effort in bringing the festivities to life.
The night’s myriad of action will include a Celebrity All Star Polo Match (including icons like the NFL’s Tim Johnson and Josh Norman(also a finalist on ABCs Dancing with the Stars) as well as San Francisco 49ers’ Jullian Taylor), Team USA vs Thailand, and the now-annual International Polo Tour Crypto Cup held in association with FAIM.WORLD, a web3 developer specializing in the creation of digital collectibles for fans to enjoy for life. The final game will also be held in memory of Stuart Allen Weinstein-Bacal, an avid polo supporter and friend to the greater DC area who succumbed to cancer this February.
September 19th will also welcome attendees to witness a specially-crafted LED Drone Show followed by a special Thailand-inspired Fashion Show. Information for the official After-Party will be announced in the near future.
Most important to the annual tradition is the IPT’s continued collaboration with WWSC, an organization devoted to helping families struggling with cancer diagnoses by providing childcare, transportation, counseling, and household assistance. Proceeds from this year’s event will go directly to WWSC, aiding their national and even global work building resilience in under-supported communities.
“From the very beginning, our commitment has expanded beyond our love for polo,” added Salahi. “Bringing people together and spreading joy and community has always been essential, and our bond with We Will Survive Cancer is a symbol of that dedication. We are grateful for another chance to support their work, and thrilled we can combine so many beautiful passions into one incredible night.”
