The US Polo Association has been announced as the official apparel sponsor of the 2018 China Open Polo Tournament.
The deal was announced by USPA Global Licensing Inc., the official licensing arm and broadcaster of the United States Polo Association (USPA), along with its China licensing partner, Yicai Brands Management.
The tournament takes place on Sunday at Beijing’s Tang Polo Club. It will mark the fourth consecutive year that U.S. Polo Assn. has been a major sponsor of the event.
The brand will provide official jerseys for players and uniforms for event staff.
China represents a major growth market for US Polo Association, which plans to have over 300 retail stores in the country over the next five years. Earlier this year, it became the first global brand to relocate its Chinese operations to the city of Changshu.
