At the exclusive Enero Costanera in Buenos Aires, the Ellerstina Yellow Rose team, featuring Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres, along with Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis as the latest additions to the team, was formally introduced for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The team members unveiled their new official shirt and discussed their expectations for the year. Gonzalo Pieres expressed their excitement about commencing the season with the new team and emphasized their goal of a successful start.
This season, the highly regarded Ellerstina team, renowned for winning numerous championships, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, has secured support from Yellow Rose. Yellow Rose, established in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez, continues to contribute to the growth of the international polo community in Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, it has expanded its polo operations in Argentina and formed a strategic alliance with Ellerstina, a dynamic team with significant potential and robust organizational support.
Despite the absence of Facundo Pieres, who chose to join the La Natividad quartet this season, the team comprises Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Pressis, achieving a combined handicap of 35 goals.
Anticipation is high as the team gears up for the Argentine Triple Crown, featuring prestigious tournaments such as the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship.
During the presentation, Ellerstina received sponsorship support from Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS. Additionally, they enjoy backing from AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
Beyond their success in local tournaments, Yellow Rose is recognized for its social commitment and support of equestrian sports. The charity events they organize, combining high-handicap polo with music and solidarity, attract renowned polo players and raise funds for social causes. Renowned polo players in Argentina, including Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Pablo Llorente, among others, have participated in these events.
In 2021, the club hosted an event in Punta del Este sponsored by the Argentine Polo Association and the Uruguayan Polo Association, bringing together the world’s best polo players for a meeting to benefit the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires province. Yellow Rose’s commitment to social causes is further evident through its collaboration with the Compromiso Foundation and the Municipality of General Rodríguez, where it is based. The club promotes a free training program for individuals over 16 years old in digital trades such as Digital Marketing, Electronic Commerce, and Digital Programming.
The 2023 season represents a significant milestone for the club as it takes on the role of title sponsor for Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, emphasizing the shared values of family, friendship, and sport promoted by Yellow Rose.
