Romero, PFP-GlobalPort strike again

MANILA, Philippines —  Mikee Romero and his Passion For Polo-GlobalPort continued to make mark, repeating over old rival Flying Changes with an impressive 15-10 win to top the recent 14-Goal Allen Trebian Memorial Cup 2025 in Barrington, Illinois.

With grit and resilience, the Romero-led PFP-GlobalPort duplicated its 11-10 conquest of the Flying Changes in the same event early this month.

It’s a mean feat considering the Flying Changes were last year’s USPA Midwest Open champions

“Our strategy and resilience late in the game produced great runs and huge goals,” said Romero. “This title is for country, especially for the growth of polo sport and for Filipinos who dare to dream big.”

Though surrounded by famous Argentinian-American and former US Open Champion players Nino Obregón and Collo Gonzales and Fil-American Anthony Garcia, Romero had his own moments of brilliance on the field, further boosting his status as one of the top Asian polo players.

And score he did, not only once but thrice to the sheer delight of team supporters.

“It was a great team effort. My teammates played so well,” said Romero, who is ranked No. 24 in the World Polo Tour and No. 6 in the US.

The Allen Trebian Memorial Cup is an awaited 14-goal USPA Midwest Open event honoring a much-admired leader in the Las Brisas community.

Winning it was another feather on Romero’s cap after the team’s 15-10 stunner over defending champion Park Place in the CV Whitney Cup earlier.
