The 2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship was the 36th edition of the tournament, held in Dubrovnik and Zagreb, Croatia from 4 to 16 January 2024.[1] Originally, Israel had been selected as host and the competition was slated to be held in Netanya, from 3 to 16 January 2024.[2][3][4][5] Due to security concerns after the breakout of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, LEN announced the Championship would be hosted elsewhere.[6]

Host selection

[edit]

The championship was originally going to be held in Tel Aviv, Israel between 7 and 21 October 2023 (although it would still be called the 2024 European Championship).[5][7] But on 31 March 2023, it was moved to the Israeli city of Netanya and rescheduled for 3 to 16 January 2024 at the Wingate Institute Olympic swimming pool.[2][8][3] This decision was made to reduce the travel costs for the participating teams and make sure there was only one stoppage during the season instead of two (due to the 2024 World Aquatics Championships being held in February 2024).

However, after the 2023 Israel–Hamas war broke out, LEN said they would monitor the situation on 12 October.[9] But on 2 November, LEN announced that the tournament would not be hosted in Israel.[6][10]

After that announcement, Budapest, Belgrade, Berlin, Romania (city not known) and Zagreb had been reported as possibly interested in hosting the championships[11][12][13][14][15][16] Croatia was announced as the host on 17 November, with Dubrovnik and Zagreb as venues.[1] Croatia became the first country to host the men's championships twice in a row.

Format

[edit]

This was the first edition with teams sorted into two Divisions, based on the last edition and the qualifiers. The top eight teams made Division 1 and the other eight teams Division 2. Both divisions were split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams from each group of Division 1 advanced directly to the quarterfinals, while the other two teams from each group played against one of the top two sides from each group in Division 2 in a play-off round. Starting with quarterfinals onward, the regular knock-out system was used.[17][18]

Qualification

[edit]

Sixteen teams competed at the main event.

All sixteen teams from 2022 qualified again.
