CYCLE POLO - AN INTRODUCTION
The game of cycle polo in India found it’s roots in early 1900’s . India is the home of Polo in the world and has produced world famous teams in Horse Polo of Maharajas of Jaipur, Jodhpur, Alwar and Patiala. It was these Maharajas who in the off season for Horse Polo took on the game of Cycle Polo to keep themselves fit.
After the 2nd World War when the horses were reduced from Army activities, the game of Cycle Polo became popular with the Indian and British regiments.
From the Princely connections to the glamour of the Army regiments the game of Cycle Polo became COMMAN MEN’S GAME with the founding of the CYCLE POLO FEDERATION OF INDIA (CPFI) in the year 1966.
The CPFI is the parent body of 32 Indian states and Defence Associations. The states in turn have district and club memberships. INDIA HAS LARG NUMBER OF PEOPLE PLAYING CYCLE POLO .
