The Durban Shongweni Club will be the hub of excitement for the 2024 Polocrosse World Cup next year as South Africa is set to play host for the prestigious event.
Durban, South Africa (10 July 2023) – South Africa will be hosting the Polocrosse World Cup in 2024, showing that yet again, we are a top destination for major sporting events. Excitement is growing as we reach the one-year countdown.
Polocrosse is a team sport that is a combination of polo and lacrosse. Polo is a popular sport worldwide, while lacrosse is more popular in Northern America, but many countries are adopting the sport. The combined nature of both sports means a fun and active experience for riders.
The Durban Shongweni Club which is known as an equestrian epicentre for KwaZulu-Natal, will be the hosting venue next year, from July 15th to the 28th, 2024.
“This venue has been no stranger to top-quality polocrosse since the 2015 World Cup at Durban Shongweni Club. Since 2016, The Shongweni Polocrosse Club has elevated the sport to a World Class Event annually through their High Goal Polocrosse tournaments.
Come join us for an action-packed and competitive Polocrosse spectacle on a world-class scale. We’ll have food and beverage vendors, entertainment, music concerts, and pop-up flea markets.” – Polocrosse SA
