SportMalta is proud to be supporting the European Aquatics Water Polo Champions League Final Four, organised by European Aquatics and the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta (ASA), at the National Swimming Complex Tal-Qroqq this week.
For the first time ever, both the men’s and women’s Final Four tournaments will be held at the same venue during the same week. Malta has hosted the men’s Final Four for the past two years, and this year the women’s top clubs join them on the same stage.
Eight of Europe’s best water polo clubs â four men’s and four women’s â will compete from June 10 to 13 for the Champions League title.
Men’s competition
The four men’s clubs competing are FerencvÃĄrosi TC (Hungary), Pro Recco (Italy), Zodiac AtlÃĻtic-Barceloneta (Spain) and Olympiacos SFP (Greece).
FerencvÃĄros are the defending champions, having won the title in Malta in both 2024 and 2025. Pro Recco, 11-time European champions, will be looking to stop them from winning a third title in a row. Barceloneta qualified unbeaten from the quarter-finals stage, while Olympiacos clinched their place after winning a penalty shootout against AN Brescia on the last day of qualification.
Women’s competition
The four women’s clubs competing are FerencvÃĄrosi TC (Hungary), Olympiacos Piraeus (Greece), Assolim CN MatarÃē (Spain) and reigning champions CN Sant Andreu (Spain).
Sant Andreu won the title last year and are back to defend it. In the semi-finals, FerencvÃĄros face Sant Andreu, while MatarÃē take on Olympiacos. Both FerencvÃĄros and Olympiacos have their men’s and women’s teams in Malta, giving both clubs the chance to win both titles.
