Winners and defending champions, Malcomines polo, Keffi Ponys, Fifth Chukker polo and over 20 other polo teams will vie for honours in the 2025/2026 Jos Winter Polo Tournament which will gallop off from December 26 to January 2, 2026 at the popular General Hassan Polo Ground in Jos.
Polo Royals gather exclusively that one of the special events at this year’s tournament will be the third edition of the Charity event which would kickstart the prestigious tournament on Christmas Day.
Jos Polo Club Secretary, Hassan Gashash, stated that the event would be hosted by the Jos Polo Club in conjunction with a non-governmental charity organization, Hands of Help for the Nigerian Grassroots Economic Regeneration (the HANGER Project) on Christmas day December 25, as one of the major events that would herald the polo tournament this year.
In the same vein, a spokesperson of the HANGER Project, Alison Allanso also confirmed that the event will be an all -day of activities at the premises of the polo club, to put smile on the faces of the less privilege, orphans, Disabled persons, widows and the internally displaced persons from Jos and its environs in Plateau State.
“We have been on this project for the past years and this year we are hoping to reach out to about 400 Nigerians or more, mostly children and women whose livelihoods have been badly affected by the current hardship in the country.
“We thank all the donors for their support so far and also appeal to other well -meaning corporate organizations and individuals to come to the aid of the less privileged by donating to the project that would lift these unfortunate members of the society and give them hope during this festive period,” she pleaded.
Organisers have also said the Jos Winter Polo tournament which is powered by the Plateau State Government alongside corporates like Malcomines as well as other corporate and individual sponsors, would be one of the most exciting in decades.
Reigning champions, Jos Malcomines, led by Murtala Laushi, headline a formidable lineup that includes strong contenders from Kaduna, Kano Abuja, Bauchi, Yola, among others.
Other contenders are expected from Zaria, Minna, Maiduguri, Katsina, Kano, Bauchi, Abuja and Keffi with enough high-goal players and battle-ready ponies are on hand for the contest.
Captain of Jos Polo Club (JPC), Yusuf Dauda, who disclosed this, assured tourists and polo enthusiasts that the club will host the best winter polo fiesta that would surpass previous editions.
Chief Host and President of Jos Polo Club, Murtala Laushi who has been the biggest benefactor of the prestigious annual fiesta, confirmed that preparations are on for another Jos polo festival that promises to be extraordinary.
“It is worth noting that the game Polo has for several decades now maintained its preeminent position as the leading catalyst for sports, recreation, peace and tourism in Plateau state, and Nigeria at large,” the Jos polo boss who is also the NPF Secretary General, enthused.
It has also been confirmed that preparations have been concluded for the charity event that usually flags off the campaigns for honours during the Jos polo festival that is rated as one of the biggest sporting festivals in the country.
