Brazil took a commanding lead in the series with a 7–1 victory in the first match. Chile responded in the return match, winning 7–5, but Brazil's advantage from the opening game secured the series by an aggregate score of 12–8.

The FIP congratulates Brazil on winning the Sub-Zone B qualifying series and commends both Brazil and Chile for their participation and commitment throughout the competition.

The Federation also extends its sincere appreciation to the Chilean Polo Federation, Club de Polo San Cristóbal, and all those who contributed horses and other resources to support the event. Their collaboration and commitment were essential to the successful organization of the qualifying series and reflect the spirit of cooperation that underpins the international polo community.
