Welcome to the official website of the British Army Polo Association


Founded in 1998, the British Army Polo Association (APOLOA) was created to govern polo in the Army, both in the UK and abroad.

The APOLOA’s mission is to encourage, support and organise polo throughout the Army at all levels, widen its membership and increase the opportunities to play the game in order to build and develop teamwork and leadership. 

APOLOA also seeks  to support its novice, development and senior squads, forming teams up to eight goals. Regiments also form their own teams including the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Infantry and the Honourable Artillery Company
(HAC), to name a few. APOLOA partners include Hackett London, EFG Bank, IM Power, The Military Mutual and Team Army. APOLOA is registered with the Army Sport Control Board and is classed as an ‘Excepted Charity’
