Polo, women’s European final: Italy loses against Germany

The blue beaten 6-2 fail to defend the title won last year. The Germans had already won in 2018

The Italian women’s polo race ended in the final, beaten 6-2 by Germany in the decisive match for the European title. In Punta Ala, in front of over a thousand spectators (three thousand adding up the three days of competition), the second title for the Germans after that of 2018. A final in which Germany was superior: a result, however, which does not erase the two victories obtained by coach Franco Piazza’s girls (Alice Coria, Maitena Marré, Camila Rossi and Ginevra Visconti) against England and France.

Joy and pain

“Sport gives joys but also sorrows – the words of the president of the Fise, Marco Di Paola -. Obviously we were hoping to win: Italy fought but Germany were superior, so rightly so. However, I would like to say that above all sport won: they were four exciting days”.
