The young Sharks of Montenegro are ready to dive into a fiery battle at the Water Polo World Championship starting July 12 in Singapore. In Group D, alongside Croatia, Greece, and China, the young Montenegrin water polo players have one goal – first place! Captain Aljoša Mačić is optimistic: “We can come out as group winners if we stop their power play attack and show team spirit and teamwork.”
This is the first major tournament under new coach Dejan Savić, and the goal is clear – finally break past the quarterfinals, something that has eluded them so far. The group winner advances directly to the round of 16, while the second and third place teams will have to fight through additional matches. Group D is brutal – Croatia and Greece are well-known rivals, and China can be unpredictable.
Montenegro is known for its fighting spirit at the World Championships but often gets stuck at the quarterfinals. Now is the time for change! The young Sharks have already shown strength, and Aljoša Mačić believes teamwork is the key to success. “It will be crucial to stop their power play attack, where the Greeks have shown strength in recent years. With team spirit, we can compete for first place in the group.”
The tournament kicks off on July 12 with a match against Greece, followed by a game against Croatia on July 14, and China on July 16. Every match is like a war, and Montenegro is ready to show its teeth. Will they finally manage to break through the quarterfinals and make a leap forward? Fans are eager, and the atmosphere is electric.
If you thought water polo was boring, think again! This year, Montenegro has a chance to prove they are the real Sharks in the pool. And if they don’t succeed, at least they’ll be fierce and unpredictable. Who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us and cause chaos in Group D.
