The Élan Polo Cup is a medium goal tournament started in the 2012-2013 polo season with 5 teams and only a single 4 goal handicapped player in the competition. The current Élan Polo Cup grew to feature 10 teams and a total of 5 players with a 4 goal handicap, indeed indicative of the success that the competition has achieved in the Pakistani polo community.

In addition to co-sponsoring the initiative, Élan also designed a special line of sportswear for the bikers.
