Munich/ Aspern, February 24, 2022 – The Bavaria Polo Club eV, one of the oldest polo clubs in Germany and a member of the German Polo Association, commissions Pegasus Event Marketing GmbH (Pegasus) headed by Christopher Kirsch with the management of the Bavaria Polo Club for the 2022 season.
Pegasus was founded in 2001 by Christopher Kirsch, player of the 2021 and 2022 European Polo Championships, and can look back on more than twenty years of experience in the sport of polo and events. In addition to the location in Hamburg, Pegasus has also been represented in Munich for 20 years. He is the successful organizer of the German Polo Tour, which is taking place for the twelfth time this year, and has been playing for the German national team since 1999.
The agreement with Pegasus includes the organization of three international DPV tournaments from May to September and the establishment of a professional polo school. The offer ranges from individual lessons and group training to tactical training and a polo clinic on selected weekends on the playing field of the Bavaria Polo Club eV
Christopher Kirsch comments: “It is very important to me to promote and further develop the sport of polo in Germany and the Bavaria Polo Club eV. The club and the membership structure have the ideal prerequisites for this.” Kirsch can draw on the many years of expertise of Francisco MacLoughlin, reigning European champion with a handicap of +4 and manager of the Argentine Polo University. MacLoughlin is also a certified trainer from the Argentine Polo Association (AAP).
Juliane Thiessen, Marketing Director of the Bavaria Polo Club eV, adds: “With Christopher Kirsch, we are happy to have one of the most experienced German polo players on board, who will support our club organizationally, but also playfully through his certification and proven coaching qualities.”
