At the exclusive Enero Costanera in the city of Buenos Aires, the Ellerstina Yellow Rose team, featuring Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres, alongside Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, the latest additions for the season, was formally introduced for the upcoming polo season in Argentina. The event, attended by various notable figures, showcased the team’s new official shirt, and the participants shared their expectations for the upcoming year.
Gonzalo Pieres expressed eagerness for the start of the season with the new team, aiming to begin on a positive note and strive for success throughout the competitions. The team, which has previously clinched numerous championships, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, is now supported by Yellow Rose, a polo club founded in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez. The presentation gathered celebrities such as Jorge Rodríguez and his partner Vero Lozano.
Yellow Rose continues to contribute to the growth of the international polo hub with its presence in both Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, the club has established its polo organization in Argentina, forming a strategic alliance with Ellerstina—a dynamic team with potential, enthusiasm, and robust organizational support fostering the development and future prospects of its players.
This season’s team, without Facundo Pieres—who joined the La Natividad quartet—comprises Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Pressis, reaching a collective handicap of 35 goals.
The team’s aspirations are set high for the Argentine Triple Crown, consisting of prestigious tournaments like the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship.
Ellerstina received sponsorship support from Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS. Additional backing comes from AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
Beyond its success in local tournaments, Yellow Rose distinguishes itself through its social commitment and promotion of equestrian sports. The club organizes charity events that combine high-handicap polo with music and solidarity, featuring renowned players and raising funds for social causes. Notable polo figures such as 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 top polo players globally to benefit the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires province. Yellow Rose’s commitment 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 like 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.
