CroatiaThe Croatian men's water polo team under 16 years old lost the final of the Croatia Cup in Varaždin on Tuesday evening to Serbia with a score of 7:6 (2:2, 2:0, 2:2, 1:2). Despite strong performances in the semifinals where they defeated Russia 16:9, health issues affected the team during the final. Key players like Ante Domazeta and Vite Lokas were unable to perform at their best due to illness, while coach Bruno Sabioni noted the physical toll of playing five matches in three days. The team still considered the tournament beneficial overall. In the third-place match, Russia beat the USA 15:6. All four teams will now compete in the European Championships under 16 in Zagreb, featuring 36 teams from all six continents.
