In a notable development, U.S. Polo Assn., the esteemed brand affiliated with the United States Polo Association (USPA), proudly reveals His Highness Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh (Pacho) of Jaipur, India, as its latest Global Brand Ambassador. This strategic collaboration merges tradition with contemporary sportsmanship, highlighting Pacho's dedication to the sport of polo and his global influence.

Sawai Padmanabh Singh, the current Maharaja of Jaipur, emerges not only as a royal figure but as a distinguished polo player. Having captained the Indian National Polo Team, he has graced tournaments across the globe, showcasing his prowess in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Beyond the polo field, Pacho's fervor for the sport has transformed Jaipur into a polo hub, drawing enthusiasts worldwide. Under the auspices of the Rajasthan Polo Club, he champions the preservation and promotion of this historic sport.

"I look forward to representing the brand with great enthusiasm at sporting and fashion events and on social media for fans and consumers around the world!" said His Highness, Padmanabh Singh.

Pacho's role as U.S. Polo Assn.'s Global Brand Ambassador extends beyond donning apparel. He will be the face of the brand at various sporting and fashion events, engaging with fans on social media, and participating in interviews and campaigns. J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, emphasizes Pacho's alignment with the brand's global, vibrant, authentic, and exciting essence.

His Highness brings a distinctive blend of sportsmanship and style to U.S. Polo Assn., reflecting his achievements both on and off the field. As Captain of the Indian National Polo Team, Pacho's journey began at the prestigious Guards Polo Club in the U.K., where he played at different levels. His commitment extends to reviving the historic Jaipur Polo Team, ensuring the continuation of his family's legacy in the sport.

As the patron of the Rajasthan Polo Club, Pacho has instituted inclusive programs, providing affordable training opportunities for young enthusiasts, breaking down barriers associated with polo's elitist perception. His efforts have led to a surge in diverse demographics attending polo events in Jaipur, reinforcing the sport's accessibility.

U.S. Polo Assn.'s association with Pacho strengthens its position as a leading global brand in India.
