At the prestigious Enero Costanera venue in Buenos Aires, alongside Gonzalo and Nicolás Pieres were Bautista Bayugar and Ignatius Du Plessis, the new additions to the team for this season. Ellerstina Yellow Rose was unveiled for the upcoming polo season in Argentina, with the players presenting the new official jersey and discussing their expectations for the year ahead.
“Gonzalo Pieres expressed his enthusiasm about beginning to play with this new team, stating, ‘We’re eager to kick off in the best possible way and aim to go as far as we can,’ during the event attended by various figures.
This season, the esteemed Ellerstina team, renowned for winning numerous championships, including multiple editions of the Argentine Polo Open, is supported by Yellow Rose, a polo club founded in 1996 in Punta del Este by Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez. He was among the many celebrities present at the event, alongside his partner Vero Lozano.”
Continuing its commitment to support the growth of international polo in Argentina and Uruguay, since 2021, the institution has expanded its polo organization in Argentina and formed an alliance with Ellerstina. This partnership brings together a young, vibrant team with potential, enthusiasm, and robust organizational support, aiding in the development of players and their future prospects.
With the absence of Facundo Pieres, who opted to join the La Natividad quartet this season, the team now comprises Nicolas Pieres, Bautista Bayugar, Gonzalo Pieres, and “Nachi” Du Pressis, achieving a handicap of 35 goals.
The anticipation is high for the Argentine Triple Crown, featuring prestigious tournaments such as the Hurlingham Open, Tortugas Open, and Argentine Polo Open Championship.

Aside from their success in local tournaments, Yellow Rose is recognized for its social commitment and support for equestrian sports. They regularly organize charity events combining high-goal polo with music and solidarity, attracting renowned polo players and raising funds for social causes. Key polo players in Argentina, including Polito Pieres, Ignacio Figueras, Gonzalo Pieres, Bartolomé “Barto” Castagnola, Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Pablo Llorente, among others, have participated.

In 2021, the club hosted an event in Punta del Este sponsored by the Argentine Polo Association and the Uruguayan Polo Association, which brought together the world’s top polo players for a charity match benefiting the Marabo Sports and Social Club in General Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez, Buenos Aires Province.
Yellow Rose’s social commitment is further demonstrated through collaborative efforts with the Compromiso Foundation and the Municipality of General Jorge ‘Corcho’ Rodríguez, where it is headquartered. Together, they are driving a program offering free training for individuals over 16 years old in digital trades such as Digital Marketing, E-commerce, and Digital Programming. Veronica Lozano
The 2023 season signifies a significant milestone for the club as it becomes the main sponsor of Ellerstina in the Triple Crown, emphasizing the shared values of family, friendship, and sports promoted by Yellow Rose.
