A polo match is a team sport played on horseback, where players use long mallets to hit a ball into the opposing team's goal. Each team typically consists of four players, and the game is played on a large grass field. Matches are divided into periods called chukkas, usually lasting seven minutes each, with breaks in between for players and horses to rest. The objective of a polo match is to score more goals than the opposing team. Players must demonstrate skill in riding and teamwork, as they navigate the field while trying to control the ball and outmaneuver their opponents.
