ALL is set for the Stanbic Bank-sponsored Carnival Cup Polo Tournament, which takes place tomorrow at Thornpark Polo Grounds, with eight teams set to battle for one of Zimbabwe's oldest and most prestigious polo trophies.
The participating teams have already received their official tournament kits ahead of the competition.
The eight teams will compete across four divisions, each representing one of Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe's products: Private Banking, Offshore, StanPay, Stanbic Bank Visa Card, Pure Save Account, Africa China Trade, Insurance and Blue 247.
Harare Polo Club captain Matthew Moxon said the Carnival Cup had been held continuously since 1965, with the only break coming in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The trophy itself is exceptionally beautiful and holds a place of honour within the club, standing as one of its most treasured and enduring symbols of history and tradition," he said.
Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe head of brand and marketing Tariro Memo said the financial institution was honoured to support a tournament with such a rich heritage.
"While it is a fact that Stanbic Bank offers some of the best banking products in Zimbabwe, we have a soft spot for supporting our communities through well-thought-out CSI initiatives in areas such as health and sanitation, the environment, education and sport, hence our support for the Carnival Cup," Memo said.
The Carnival Cup is regarded as one of the highlights of Zimbabwe's polo calendar, bringing together top players and celebrating a tradition that has endured for more than six decades.
