In partnership with Stella Artois, the 2025 Nedbank International Polo reignited the age-old rivalry between South Africa and Argentina – a stylish showdown that reminded guests to pause, connect, and savour the moment
More than a match, the 2025 Nedbank International Polo – held in partnership with Stella Artois – was a celebration of style, sport, at the iconic Inanda Club in Sandton this weekend, as Argentina narrowly defeated South Africa by 14 to 12 in a thrilling match watched by some of the country’s most fashionable guests.
With the sun-drenched field as a backdrop, this year’s event lived up to its billing as the social and sporting occasion of the season. Guests showed up – and showed out with intention, glamour, and attention to detail – for the theme “Couture on Green,” transforming the Sandton polo field into a runway of bold elegance.
True to form, Stella Artois elevated the day with its signature Perfect Serve – crisp, chilled chalices presented in iconic fashion – while notable personalities such as actor and musician Nirvana Nokwe – Mseleku, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Button Brothers Palmer Mutandwa, multidisciplinary artist Kokona “Kay Kay” Ribane, and BET TV presenter Naledi Radebe curated standout style moments.
On the field, Argentina claimed a well-earned victory over South Africa in a tightly contested match, bringing high energy and skill to the 2025 showdown. The crowd, however, came for more than just the sport – they stayed for the unforgettable atmosphere, style, and celebration that defined the day.
At the Stella Artois marquee, the energy remained high from the first chukker to the final goal, with DJ Lochive setting the tone through a well-curated musical set. Her performance complemented the relaxed elegance of the space, enhancing the premium lifestyle experience and the power of bringing people together, for which the event is renowned.
“Stella Artois has always celebrated the beauty of the moment – the elegance of craft, the joy of connection, and the pleasure of slowing down to savour life’s finest rituals. Partnering with the Nedbank International Polo allowed us to bring this ethos to life through a truly premium experience – where world-class sport met curated dining, meaningful conversation, and of course, the perfect pour in a moment truly worth more,” said Estee Burger, Marketing Manager: Stella Artois
