At the esteemed Enero Costanera venue in Buenos Aires, the Pieres siblings, Gonzalo and Nicolás, alongside newcomers Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, revealed their Ellerstina Yellow Rose lineup for the upcoming Argentine polo season. The event showcased the team’s newest jersey and provided an opportunity for the players to articulate their ambitions for the approaching year. Gonzalo Pieres conveyed his excitement, expressing, “We’re eager to commence the season with our revitalized team. Our aim is to begin strongly and consistently pursue excellence,” in the presence of various distinguished individuals.
This season, the distinguished Ellerstina squad, boasting an illustrious history of achievements, including numerous Argentine Polo Open championships, receives backing from Yellow Rose, a club established in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge “Corcho” Rodríguez. Rodríguez, alongside his partner Vero Lozano and other notable figures, commemorated this unveiling.
Yellow Rose plays an indispensable role in enhancing the global polo scene, operating across Argentina and Uruguay. Since 2021, it has expanded its polo activities in Argentina through a strategic collaboration with Ellerstina. This partnership amalgamates a dynamic and talented team, brimming with enthusiasm and bolstered by a robust organizational structure that nurtures player development and future success. Despite Facundo Pieres’ departure to La Natividad this season, the team—comprising Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Plessis—proudly boasts an impressive 35-goal handicap. The team eagerly aims for triumphs in the Argentine Triple Crown, encompassing esteemed events such as the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and the Argentine Open Polo Championship.
Sponsors for Ellerstina in this endeavor include Yellow Rose, Jeep, Gibson, and RUS, supplemented by additional support from AlUla, Stella Artois, Sierra de los Padres, Enero Restaurant, Johnnie Walker, Clos de los Siete, and Aconcagua.
Furthermore, Yellow Rose is esteemed for its dedication to social causes and the advancement of equestrian sports. It hosts esteemed charity events that blend high-level polo with music and community support, attracting top polo talents and raising funds for social projects. Distinguished Argentine polo players such as Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Gonzalo Pieres, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, and Pablo Llorente have participated in these endeavors.
In 2021, the club orchestrated a significant event in Punta del Este, endorsed by the Argentine and Uruguayan Polo Associations, uniting the polo elite to support the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires province. Yellow Rose’s commitment to social welfare is further demonstrated through its collaboration with the Compromiso Foundation and the General Rodríguez Municipality. The club offers a complimentary training program for individuals over 16, focusing on digital skills such as Marketing, E-commerce, and Programming. The 2023 season marks a significant milestone for the club as it assumes the role of the primary sponsor of Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, reinforcing the shared values of family, friendship, and sportsmanship upheld by Yellow Rose.
