On behalf of the South African polo association we'd like to thank the All Manipur Polo Association for the invite to this 6th international women's polo tournament.
We owe huge gratitude to everyone involved in making this tournament possible including the the entire tourism department. It has been the experience of a lifetime in which we have been blown away by Manipur and how much it has given to the game we love. This trip for us has been like a pilgrimage in learning it's roots, playing on the iconic grounds and legendary ponies. We have been awestruck in seeing the monumental sculpture at the Marjing Polo Complex, a landmark that signifies the origins of polo.
This tournament has no option but to get bigger and gain greater traction. We shall return home with gratuitous humble hearts, and shall spread the word to as many polo players as we can, that they must come to Manipur.
We feel that this is the beginning of a long prosperous relationship between our countries for women's polo.
The mighty Manipuri ponies have stolen our hearts and we have decided as a team to donate our winnings back to the conservation of the ponies.
We look forward to one day having a team of Manipuri women players visiting us in South Africa.
Kindest regards,
The South African 2023 Team

I Neelu Rajkumari as a captain of India Manipur team-B feel very excited for this great opportunity to participate in this wonderful tournament. It is my first time playing as a captain and it is a great experience for me. My team played very well against all those amazing teams. It was very nice meeting all the ladies from across the world. We have learned many things from them about the strategies and what we are lack of during the play.
Lastly, I would love to have many more countries to come and participate in this tournament and experience our ponies and beautiful places here in Manipur.

It was a great pleasure to associate with 6th International Women's Statehood Tournament.
I am extremely awestruck with All Manipur Polo Association and Manipur Tourisn to have picked up this year's tournament and execute with so much grace.
I know tournament organising and facilitation of players takes time and effort and I would like to acknowledge you all for all that you do for the growth of Polo, women empowerment and Manipuri Ponies.
I take back the warmth and hospitality that you all have shown and camaraderie of polo that makes this sport truly special.
Thank you everyone for amazing few days we spent together and I look forward to working with you all again for growth of polo in whichever way possible in times to come.
Take care and may you all have blessings of Lord Marjing, always :)
