SOPRON

Water Polo Tournament 

Sitting on the Hungarian-Austrian border, Sopron is a beautiful tiny city on the lower hills of the Alps. It’s a popular destination among the tourist as it offers a great range of resorts and a natural beauty. The city is famous for its bond to basketball, the women’s team has been the ruler of the Hungarian league for long years and a regular participant in the Euro League Final Four – indeed, the city already hosted that event for three times in recent years.

Though it was one of the few cities in the countryside which already had a fine indoor swimming pool – which hosted the 1992 European Junior Water Polo Championships –, recently a brand-new complex was opened where the Hungarian Cup Finals were staged in late 2021 as its inaugurating events. With a seating capacity of 1,500, the coming World Championship games shall visit a true treasure box.
