Greece claims historic bronze in Men’s Water Polo World Championships

·

Just a day after the Greek women’s team won gold in Singapore, the men’s team secured bronze at the World Water Polo Championships with a decisive 16-7 win over Olympic champions Serbia.

Greece dominated with an 8-0 run across the second and third quarters, showcasing sharp perimeter shooting and strong defensive play, especially while a man down.

Goalkeeper Panagiotis Tzortzatos delivered a standout performance as Greece avenged their narrow Olympic loss to Serbia.

The medal marks a historic milestone, with Greece becoming only the fourth nation ever to reach the podium in both men’s and women’s tournaments at the same World Championships.
