The 2025 Men's European U-16 Water Polo Championship was the fourth edition of the Men's European U-16 Water Polo Championship, organized by the European Aquatics. The tournament was played in Istanbul, Turkey from 7 to 13 July 2025. [1] Starting this edition, the age level has changed from U15 to U16. [2] Hungary were the three-times defending champions; Italy became the European champions for the first time.
Manisa was given the hosting rights on 13 November 2024, [1] however, the host city was later changed to Istanbul.
No qualification round took place; the top sixteen teams from the 2023 edition automatically qualified for the championship while the remaining registered teams competed in the newly formed Division I. [3] Israel later withdrew from the tournament, leaving the championship with only 15 participating teams.
