Royal Windsor Cup 2026 Winners 🏆💚

Thirty-one years on. The same trophy. The same passion. A new generation ⚡️

In 1995 Dubai Polo Team won the Royal Windsor with Tariq’s father and team owner Ali Albwardy, so it was particularly special for Tariq to lift the trophy on Sunday too, albeit 31 years later!

Days like these aren’t possible without every single person who shows up every day for the team and the ponies. To our incredible grooms, to Shotters and Byers for their exceptional veterinary care, and to Cunningham Farriers, for always going above and beyond for our ponies, your care and dedication is unwavering and for that we are immensely grateful.

A very special mention for Olivia, Queen of the yard 👑 and so deserving of winning Best Playing Pony.

And finally to Guards Polo Club, thank you for a wonderful tournament and for adding more memories to our team’s story in the sport ✨
