The 2023 Men's FINA Water Polo World Cup was the 17th edition of the tournament. It ran from 8 March to 2 July 2023. [1] The Super final took place between 30 June and 2 July 2023 in Los Angeles, United States. [2]

Contents

From this year on, the tournament was replacing the FINA Water Polo World League. [3]

Spain won their first title after defeating Italy in the final. [4]

Format

There were two divisions. In Division 1, the top twelve teams from the World Championships played. They played all matches in March in Zagreb and Podgorica. All other teams could have signed up in Division 2, in which each continent hosted a qualification tournament. The top two teams from each of those tournaments played in an intercontinental tournament. The top-six teams of Division 1 and the top-two teams from Division 2 competed in the super final, held from 30 June to 2 July 2023. [5] [6] At the end of the tournament, the last-ranked team was relegated to Division 2 and the winner of Division 2 moved to Division 1 for the following year. A win gave a team three points, a win after penalties two, a loss after penalites one and a loss after regular time zero points. [7]

Division 1

The draw was held on 1 December 2022. [8] Group A played their tournament in Zagreb, Croatia and Group B in Podgorica, Montenegro between 8 and 14 March 2023. [6] [9]
