Adolfo “Poroto” Cambiaso Jr. is the son of Adolfo Cambiaso, the greatest polo player in history, and has already reached the 10-goal handicap in Argentina at just 22 years old. Born February 22, 2004, Poroto grew up on the La Dolfina estancia surrounded by the best players, horses, and polo education in the world. He is rated 10-goal in Argentina and 9-goal in the United States, where he plays for Scone during the Wellington season.
Playing alongside his father on the same 40-goal team is one of the remarkable stories in modern polo. For the 2026 Argentine Triple Crown, Poroto is part of La Natividad La Dolfina alongside his father, Camilo Castagnola, and Barto Castagnola. The combination of the Cambiaso father-son pair with the Castagnola brothers creates a team of four 10-goalers, the maximum possible rating. Poroto has already won the Argentine Open, the sport’s most prestigious title, adding his name to a trophy that his father has lifted 9 or more times.
In the American season, Poroto competes with Scone at the USPA National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida, playing through the C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup, and U.S. Open. His 9-goal rating in the USA reflects the different handicapping system between the two countries, but his ability at 22 years old to compete at the top of both American and Argentine polo confirms his trajectory toward sustained excellence.
The Argentine Triple Crown is the centrepiece of Poroto’s 2026 calendar. The Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and Argentine Open at the Campo Argentino de Polo in Buenos Aires represent the three most important tournaments in the sport. At 22, Poroto has decades of competition ahead. The question is not whether he will win more major titles, but how many, and whether he can eventually match or surpass his father’s extraordinary record.
