Each NOC could have 13 Aa Athletes. No Ap player.

There is a lot of confusion about the size of the water polo team. Still, in the documents published by World Aquatics and their website it says that the team consists of 12 Aa players + 1 Ap (reserve) player.

No confusion: since 12 april on IOC website there is updated system of qualification that explain that waterpolo's team could have 13 Aa athletes and no Ap athlete.

13. Panagiotis Tzortzatos

 

Coach: Theodoros Vlachos

 

Only 7/13 same players from Tokyo. Kapotsis, Kolomvos, and Mourikis retired from the national team. Galanidis was replaced by Tzortzatos as our backup goalkeeper. Gkiouvetsis and surprisingly Dervisis were cut from the national team in the last few days.

 

Honestly I think this team on paper is stronger than the team that went to Tokyo, we only lost minor players mostly and have some new younger players or guys who were young in Tokyo and barely played are now more experienced but let's see...

A young team (average 24 yo) that will enjoy every second of this adventure. The objective set by our wp federation is a place in the QF; it's gonna be very difficult to achieve, personally I think we can get max 1 win out of a group with Greece, Italy, USA, Croatia and Montenegro.
