Adolfo “Poroto” Cambiaso Jr. is an Argentine polo player born February 22, 2004, rated 10-goal in Argentina and 9-goal in the United States at age 22, and the son of the greatest polo player in history. Imagine sharing a field with the greatest player the sport has ever seen. Now imagine that player is your father. Poroto does not have to imagine it: he grew up on the La Dolfina estancia surrounded by the best players, the best horses, and the most intense polo education on earth. He has already reached the 10-goal handicap in Argentina and 9-goal in the United States, and he has won the Argentine Open, the single most important title in the sport.
The weight of the name could crush a lesser player. Poroto carries it with a style that is both unmistakably Cambiaso and entirely his own. He is fast, aggressive, and fearless in a way that 22-year-olds are supposed to be but that polo’s physical demands usually temper. Playing alongside Adolfo Cambiaso on La Natividad La Dolfina for the 2026 Argentine Triple Crown, with Camilo Castagnola and Barto Castagnola completing a perfect 40-goal team, Poroto is part of a lineup that combines two sets of brothers and a father-son pair. The chemistry is not bought. It is grown.
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 American system reflects the different handicapping standards between the two countries, but his ability to compete at the top of both circuits at 22 confirms the trajectory. The question that hangs over Poroto’s career is not whether he will win more major titles but whether he can match or surpass the record his father built over 30 years.
The Argentine Triple Crown is the centrepiece of Poroto’s 2026 calendar. The Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and Argentine Open at Campo Argentino de Polo in Buenos Aires represent the three most important tournaments in polo. Every match Poroto plays alongside his father could be among their last together. That awareness gives every ride at Palermo an emotional weight that extends well beyond the scoreboard. At 22, with decades of competition ahead, Poroto Cambiaso is the future of polo. For now, he is sharing the present with the greatest player who ever lived.
