We are very happy to come to Croatia and in this beautiful city for the chance to see the best young women water polo national teams in Europe compete for the title of Continental Champion. This is one of the age group water polo Events hosted here in Croatia and it is always a great pleasure to come back here. We are always grateful to the Croatian Water Polo Federation for their activity and contribution to European Water Polo and we look forward to seeing these players and teams demonstrate their skills and capacities as they play and improve in their quest for the goal of excellence. The global pandemic has affected the sport life of many of these athletes but the possibility to see them competing represents an important message with many positive social repercussions. We hope therefore to also see spectators back to the pool supporting all participating nations in the exciting matches ahead of us. I take the opportunity to thank the organising committee and all those involved in the organisation for their hard work and among them the sponsors of the event who are so important in making it a success. We again express our gratitude to the Croatian Water Polo Federation for their support and constant collaboration with LEN. And we also thank the local authorities for their contribution for making this event possible. Best wishes and success to all. Enjoy Water Polo and this wonderful occasion, Paolo Barelli LEN President Version 15 July 2021 Page 2 Dear tournament participants, dear guests, Welcome to Croatia, welcome to Sibenik – the city that has the pleasure to host the best women’s junior water polo teams in Europe from 21 to 29 August 2021. Water polo has deep connections with the city of Sibenik and it’s citizens. I am certain that almost everyone has, at least once, been to the legendary Crnica pool and watched the match in the “foaming water”. This is also why we have, in the past years, hosted numerous water polo events. However, I am especially happy that we can, for the first time now, host a top-level women’s competition! Our city has offered the world numerous sporting legends so I hope this European Championships will ‘shine the light’ on some new future legends that will set the scene of world’s women water polo in the years to come. I wish the very best to all the teams and let the best one win. Željko Burić Mayor of the City of Sibenik Dear athletes, dear friends, I would like to welcome you to the LEN Women’s European Junior Water Polo Championships that will be held in Sibenik, Croatia from 21 to 29 August 2021. First, I take this opportunity to thank the LEN for their decision to award the organization to the Croatian Water Polo Federation. It is very challenging to host such an event in these worldwide extraordinary circumstances. However, I believe that we can, all together, succeed and offer Europe an excellent display of women’s water polo – in a safe and protected environment for all tournament participants. Croatia has hosted numerous big water polo events so you can be sure that all the people involved in the organization are fully committed to doing their best. Hoping that Croatia, Sibenik and beautiful Crnica pool will remain in your best memories, I wish everyone lots of success. Mladen Drnasin Presidenf of the Croatian Water Polo Federation Version 15 July 2021 Page 3 Dear water polo friends, It is with great pleasure that I can welcome you to Sibenik, Croatia on the LEN Women’s European Junior Water Polo Championships. Croatia is a country of great sporting successes. However, we feel special attachment to the generations to come. This is why we were very happy to get the chance to, for the first time, host the European Championships for women. I am certain that Crnica pool and Sibenik will leave you with sweet memories. I am also sure that our organizing committee will do everything to meet the high sanitary and health standards in order to ensure the safe competition for all the participants. May this be the Championships of “new hope” for the sports and for water polo in a world after the global pandemic. I wish good luck to all athletes, coaches, officials and organizers.
