Although it began life as a polo club, the Reial Club de Polo soon opened its doors to other sports, like field hockey, horse riding and tennis. Since 1902 it has organised the annual showjumping event, the Concurs de Salts Internacional de Barcelona.
From can tunis to avinguda diagonal
Barcelona’s polo club, the Reial Club de Polo, was founded in 1897 by a group of players led by Enrique Ibarrola. Originally, the field was the former Can Tunis race track. A few years later the club moved to Sarrià and merged with the Barcelona Hockey Club. At the beginning of the 20th century, the club strengthened its tennis and hockey to the point that many members of the Spanish hockey squad came from the Reial Club. In fact, some sixty players from Barcelona’s polo club have played in various Olympic Games throughout history.
Olympic facilities
In 1932, the sports club moved to its new, and current home on Avinguda Diagonal and it has not stopped growing. In the 1990s it expanded its sporting offer to include a section for padel tennis. During the Olympic Games in 1992, the club’s completely renovated facilities hosted the horse trials.
