At the exclusive Enero Costanera venue in Buenos Aires, the Ellerstina Yellow Rose team, led by Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres and including Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis as the newest additions for the season, was formally introduced for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The occasion, graced by various distinguished personalities, revealed the team’s fresh official jersey, while attendees shared their anticipations for the upcoming year.
Gonzalo Pieres conveyed his excitement for the start of the season with the new team, aspiring to kick off positively and achieve success throughout the competitions. With a track record of clinching numerous championships, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, the team now enjoys the backing of Yellow Rose, a polo club established in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez. Notable figures such as Jorge Rodríguez and his partner Vero Lozano were in attendance at the unveiling.
Yellow Rose remains committed to enhancing the global polo scene with its presence in both Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, the club has expanded its polo endeavors in Argentina, forming a strategic partnership with Ellerstina—a team brimming with potential, enthusiasm, and significant organizational backing, fostering the growth and future prospects of its players.
The current season’s roster, minus Facundo Pieres—who has joined the La Natividad quartet—comprises Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Pressis, boasting a collective handicap of 35 goals.
The team has its sights set high for the Argentine Triple Crown, encompassing prestigious tournaments such as the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship.
Ellerstina has garnered sponsorship support from Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS, with additional backing from AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
Beyond its triumphs in local tournaments, Yellow Rose stands out for its social commitment and promotion of equestrian sports. The club organizes charity events that seamlessly blend high-handicap polo with music and philanthropy, featuring renowned players and raising funds for social causes. Prominent polo figures such as Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Pablo Llorente, among others, have actively participated in these endeavors.
In 2021, the club hosted an event in Punta del Este, sponsored by the Argentine Polo Association and the Uruguayan Polo Association, bringing together top polo players globally to benefit the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires province. Yellow Rose’s dedication is further demonstrated through collaboration with the Compromiso Foundation and the Municipality of General Rodríguez, promoting 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 marks a significant milestone for the club as it takes on the title sponsorship of Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, emphasizing the shared values of family, friendship, and sport promoted by Yellow Rose.
