“The final was a very tight match, but
luckily we won. For us, to be able to
play at Palermo is amazing. We played
a very difficult match because our op-
ponents also played very well and we
were lucky to win, so we’re very happy”
“To tell you the truth, we never thought
we could get so far, and winning here
at Palermo is a dream. Playing with
these girls and on this field, on such an
important day for polo, is a pleasure”

“The truth is we played quite well
and are very happy to have won. We
trained quite a lot from the moment we
heard that we were going to be able to
play the open, and luckily we won”
CANDELARIA FERNANDEZ ARAUJO
“The truth is that we are very happy
to be a part of the advancement in
Women’s Polo, together with all the
girls of my generation. I think it is a
great achievement and the result of
enormous effort invested by many
girls. By making it possible to play the
Open, both the AAP and the AACCP
are giving us their support to continue
to grow, so that I am very happy and
grateful”

“This is a huge step forward for Women’s Polo. It is the dream of every Polo-
player and it has always been the men’s Open. The fact that women may have the
chance to play at Palermo is something I never thought would happen so soon,
and it is so good that it has. The fact that there is now a woman on the AACCP
Board of Directors is an Honor, because I know a lot of women who work hard to
go on improving their bloodstock, and fortunately the AACCP is always there to
help, through training courses and also giving us women our rightful place”
