1. Introduction

In this study you will find all the dates, sites and standings of the the water polo events of the Olympic

Games since 1900 (under the umbrella of the FINA since 1912), the FINA World Championships, organised

since 1973, the World Cups organised since 1979, the Men’s World League created in 2002 and the

Women’s World League created in 2004, and finally, the Men’s Water Polo Development Trophy, created

in 2007. Also contained in this guide are several classifications, which are listed either by the number of

titles or medals by player or National Federation.

It should be made clear that these standings serve only historical aims and do not hold any sporting

significance, as the comparison between the achievements of players from different generations is always

unbalanced.

This edition may manifest certain errors; we hope that this will be remedied for the next edition with the

assistance of our readers.

LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS – The abbreviations used for each National Federation are included at the end

of this volume. However, with regard to Germany, for the period of 1968-1991 the abbreviations FRG for

the Federal Republic and GDR for the Democratic Republic have been used. Russia and Kazakhstan were

part of USSR (URS) until 1991. The acronym TCH was used for Czechoslovakia (CZE + SVK). CRO /

Croatia (until 1992) and Serbia & Montenegro / SCG (until 2002) were part of Yugoslavia (YUG). In 2006,

Serbia (SRB) and Montenegro (MNE) split and are now two separate National Federations of FINA.
