Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO) has confirmed its continued role as main sponsor of the NPA Lagos International Polo Tournament, one of Africa’s oldest and most prestigious sporting events. The 2026 edition will take place at the Lagos Polo Club from January 27 to February 15, drawing top local and international polo teams and high-profile spectators.

The tournament will feature competition across marquee trophies including the Majekodunmi Cup, Independence Cup, Open Cup, Silver Cup, and Low Cup, alongside curated hospitality, lifestyle experiences, and global livestreaming — extending the event’s reach beyond the grounds. For GTCO, the sponsorship reinforces a broader strategy of using premium sports platforms to project Nigerian and African excellence, while aligning brand values such as discipline, teamwork, and high performance with globally recognised sporting traditions.

GTCO’s continued backing highlights how leading African financial institutions are leveraging heritage sports properties to drive brand equity, cultural relevance, and international visibility, while sustaining platforms that connect sport, business, and community.
