RECORDED: November 9th, 2022

Mr. Fred Mannix is a very rare breed in the world of polo as both
a professional player and Team Sponsor and Captain of the Alegria
Polo Team.


Fred is a born, bred and polo fed player from an early age. At
sixteen years old, Fred Mannix became a member of Team Canada,
and was one of the youngest polo players to compete in the 2001
Federation of International Polo World Championship in Australia.


Now in is late thirties, and captain of the Algeria Polo Team –
Canada’s only high-goal polo franchise – Fred is the first
Canadian in nearly 80 years to have competed in the coveted
Argentine Triple Crown – the sport’s most exclusive and respected
tournaments, and only the second in 124 years to have competed in
the prestigious Argentine Open.


Mannix is an accomplished 7-goal player in North America and
8-goal player internationally. Not only is Mannix the highest
ranked Canadian on the World Polo Tour (rated 22nd overall), but
Fred is also the Hurlingham Polo Association’s premier Global
Brand Ambassador.


Fred Mannix is an accomplish player on the field and businessman
off it. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to get to know
him. He shows a deep love for the game and is motivated to see it
commercially successful. I have become more knowledge about the
polo industry from our conversation and he shares great insight
about the game.
