Pablo Pieres is an Argentine Open winner rated 9-goal in the most competitive polo nation on earth, and in Argentina, that combination places him firmly in the elite tier of a sport where the talent pool at the top is deeper than in any other country. Born January 15, 1988, Pieres is part of the broader Pieres polo family and has won the single most important title in polo, confirming his ability to compete and win at the 40-goal level.
Maintaining a 9-goal rating in Argentina is an achievement that deserves context. Argentina produces the vast majority of the world’s highest-rated players. The depth of competition means that every match in the Triple Crown pits 9 and 10-goal players against each other, week after week, season after season. There is no hiding in a weak field, no accumulating ratings against lesser opposition. A 9-goal Argentine player has earned that rating by performing consistently against the best polo players on the planet.
Pieres’ career has been built on consistency and adaptability. He contributes to different team structures and playing styles, the kind of player who makes those around him better through intelligent positioning and reliable execution. The professionals who hold the structure together at the 9-goal level, while the 10-goal stars generate the highlights, are essential to every competitive team in Argentine polo. Without them, the 40-goal combinations that produce the sport’s greatest matches would not function.
His 2026 team assignment for the Argentine Triple Crown remains to be determined. When confirmed, he will compete in the Hurlingham Open at the Hurlingham Club, the Tortugas Open at Tortugas Country Club, and the Argentine Open at the Campo Argentino de Polo in Buenos Aires. The Triple Crown runs from September through December, with all matches played in the America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires timezone at UTC-3. At 38 in 2026, Pieres brings seasoned professionalism and the credibility of an Argentine Open title to whichever organisation secures his services for the season.
