The Maltese national team also qualified for the Euro finals by beating Belarus 16-9 after losing the first leg 7-8, An important qualification for Maltese sports confirming our position amongst the top 16 nations in European waterpolo :thumbup::MLT

Is Water Polo a big sport in Malta? Or is it a sport like for example Basketball, Rugby or Hockey in Poland, where people acknowledge the result but don't pay much credit to it (Something like "Oh, they qualified to World Championship? Cool. So have you seen yesterday's FC Barcelona game?")

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

In Malta the water polo league is played in summer. So it is given more exposure by local media since other leagues from other sport disciplines will be on their summer break. There are about 10 teams split up equally in the 1st and 2nd division. Each team is allowed to have one foreigner in their team and the 1st division teams often engage a world class player from Hungary, Croatia or Serbia who have also won Olympic medals and world championships. This has helped to raise the level of water polo in Malta. All national team water polo players play in the local league apart from one player who play in the Italian top league. Being an island surrounded by water is also a factor that attracts youngsters towards this sport.

Every country should do that tbh (even if it means a heavy shortened season). There are not many things less appealing than spending an evening in a heavy chlorine indoor swimming pool in the middle of winter.

 

The guy who decided to move water polo from a summer sport to a winter one should be shot dead (I mean, he should be digged up, shot dead, then burried back)

Because nice summer weather outside is a better chance to spend your evening in a stinking chlorine indoor pool? :p
