Polo has been called "The Sport of Kings" and has become a spectator sport for equestrians and high society, often supported by sponsorship. The progenitor of polo and its variants existed from the 6th century BCE to the 1st century CE, as an equestrian game played in Persia (Iran). From Iran, where the sport evolved and developed, the game became popular around the world. Today there are well over 100 member countries in the Federation of International Polo, and it is played professionally in 16 countries; it was also an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1936.
