About URBAN EVENTS
Urban Events Limited is a New Zealand-owned and operated company, founded by Simon Wilson and professional polo player Sam Hopkinson, and includes many high net-worth and high profile investors including Dan Carter, Ali Williams & Israel Dagg.
F3Polo® (known as “Urban Polo” in NZ and Singapore) is now in its 9th year of operation and has a considerable track record of establishing and promoting successful national and international events, with a strong team of talented individuals, bringing together a mix of creative, commercial, sporting and operational acumen.
Using leading innovation and technology Urban Events has created purpose built boards that surround the field to enable the best spectator experience, creating differentiation from other more traditional polo events.
About the F3Polo® INTERNATIONAL SERIES
F3Polo®International Series currently takes place in New Zealand, with events in the heart of two of its largest cities – Christchurch’s beautiful Hagley Park and the iconic Auckland Domain, and in Singapore’s stunning Marina Bay. New events in Australia and USA are scheduled to be added in the summer of 2025.
F3Polo®is an unforgettable fusion of sport, music, fashion and food.
F3Polo®is a contemporary spin on the traditional game of polo, creating a unique experience for spectators. Conveniently located in central urban surroundings, the game of polo is now more accessible than ever before as it doesn’t require a journey to the countryside.
F3Polo®or “Fast3polo” is faster paced, with a smaller field for better viewability and only three players per team. Designed with the spectator in mind, it’s much easier to follow than traditional polo and the action is truly intense. You can see the beauty and power of the horses up close and feel the earth shudder as they thunder past. The F3 Polo™ offers spectators the opportunity to get as close as they can to this majestic game with specially designed boards surrounding the field, which are purpose-built for viewing right from the side-line.
These key differences help to create a truly exciting “Experience Like No Other” for spectators.
