Australian Team Named For FINA World Men’s Junior Water Polo Championships

Junior head coach Andrew Yanitsas and his coaching staff have selected the best 13 water polo players in the country (in their respective age group) that will be competing at the FINA World Men’s Junior Water Polo Championships from 12-20 December in Kuwait.

Unlike the women’s side, Australia is placed in perhaps the easiest group of the competition with Brazil, Greece, New Zealand and one spot left to be decided.
