The airport was closed gradually due to disuse. Satellite imagery analysis indicates it fell into disrepair and became unusable between approximately 2013 and 2016. A specific, official closure date is not publicly available as it was a private facility.
The closure appears to be due to abandonment. As a private airstrip, its operation was dependent on the needs and resources of the property owner. It was not closed due to a specific incident, military conversion, or major external economic event, but rather fell into disuse and was eventually reclaimed by the surrounding land for agricultural and recreational purposes.
The site of the former airport has been fully repurposed. The land where the grass runway was located is now an open field, completely integrated into the grounds of the Match Point polo club and estancia. All visible infrastructure of the airstrip has been removed, and the area is used for agriculture or equestrian activities. There are no remaining signs of an active airfield.
Match Point Airport was a private grass airstrip (aeródromo) located on the grounds of the 'Estancia Match Point,' a property known for its polo facilities. Its operations were exclusively for general aviation, serving small, private aircraft. The airport's primary function was to provide convenient air access for the owners of the estancia and their guests, many of whom were involved in the international polo community. It held local significance within the equestrian and private aviation circles of the Luján area, a major hub for polo in Argentina, but had no commercial or national strategic importance.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The runway no longer exists, and the land has been repurposed for nearly a decade. Re-establishing an airstrip would require significant new investment and certification, which is highly unlikely given its previous private, low-traffic nature.
