Chennai's Polo Revival Cancelled Due to Equine Infection

The Chennai Polo Season 2026, which was supposed to bring back polo to the city after 28 years, has been cancelled because some horses got sick.

Polo was popular in Chennai in the 60s and 70s but then disappeared.

Recently, people like Irshaad Mecca and A.C Muthiah tried to bring it back by getting horses, training players, and setting up a ground.

But now, the plans are on hold.

Polo is expensive because horses need a lot of care and travel costs are high.

The sport is mostly played in cities like Jaipur, Delhi, and Jodhpur, and expanding to Chennai could help it grow.

However, without proper grounds and more players, it's hard to keep the sport going.
