DESCRIPTION:
Established in 2016, the World Tuk Tuk Polo Championships occur annually in Galle, Sri Lanka, and present a unique and entertaining twist on traditional polo. Tuk Tuks are three-wheeled automated rickshaws common in Asia and parts of the Caribbean. They replace horses in this unconventional version of the sport and add color and fun to Sri Lanka's sports calendar, attracting local and international participants and spectators.
Each team participating in the championship consists of three players: two are required to drive and handle the Tuk Tuk, while one is tasked with hitting the ball using a polo mallet.
The competition occurs on a rectangular grass field, with goals at each end. The Tuk Tuks, which are more manageable and less unpredictable than horses, give the sport a more accessible and inclusive nature, allowing people from various age groups and backgrounds to participate.
Besides providing an entertaining spectacle, the World Tuk Tuk Polo Championships also aims to promote the Tuk Tuk as a symbol of Sri Lankan culture. The event includes a parade of colorfully decorated Tuk Tuks, displaying a vibrant array of traditional and creative designs.
