The 2022 edition of the World League is highlighted by the participation of 7 European teams: Spain, the Netherlands, Greece, Russia, Italy, Hungary and France The preliminary matches for Europe will run from November 12, 2019 through April 20, 2021 (again the end of the European round had to be postponed due to the pandemic). From April 26 to May 2, 2021, the Intercontinental Cup for Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania will take place in Indianapolis. The Men’s Super Final 2020 will now take place from June 14-2, 2021 (city tbc). The coexistence of powerhouses in the sport with emerging nations that are fighting hard to develop the sport in their territory reinforces one of FINA’s goals over the last years: to attract a new and larger public and to ensure a wider TV audience for this thrilling sport, which also happens to be the oldest team sport on the Olympic programme. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the continuous support and the professionalism to the Organisers, National Federations, athletes, coaches and officials participating in the 2020 edition of the FINA Women’s Water Polo World League. The support of the sponsors, media representatives and spectators is also essential in promoting Water Polo worldwide. I wish the participating teams all the luck and the best to win. Dr. Julio C.
