The 2015 world championship team on a Serbian postage stamp

TheSerbia men's national water polo team representsSerbia in international men'swater polo. It is considered to be one of themost successful men's water polo teams in the world, winning medals in allOlympic tournaments it has entered since 2000.

Serbia has inherited the continuity of results and medals from all former state unions (Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro).[4]

At the final of theEuropean Championship held in Belgrade in 2016, a record attendance was set at a water polo match. The final between Serbia and Montenegro was watched by 11,000 fans.[5]

Not including the results of the formerYugoslav team, the Serbia has won three consecutive gold medals in the Olympic water polo tournament (from 2016 to 2024.), threeWorld Championships, sevenEuropean Championships, threeWorld Cups, record 12FINA World Leagues, four gold medals atMediterranean Games, four gold medals atSummer Universiades and gold medal at the first and so far onlywater polo tournament at theEuropean Games, justifying the status of water polo as thenational sport of Serbia.

In 2016, Serbia became the first national water polo team to simultaneously hold titles in all five existing major championships—European Championship, World Championship, World Cup, World League and Olympic Games.[6] The team holds the record for the most consecutive World League titles, winning five consecutive titles from 2013 to 2017. They are Serbia's most successful national sports team, having won more titles than all other Serbian national teams combined.[7]

Philanthropy

[edit]

On 25 December 2011, Serbia's water polo team was included in a humanitarian action "Bitka za Bebe" ("the Battle for the Babies") playing an exhibition match with the team of theFaculty of Organizational Sciences (FON), in Belgrade. Before the Serbian water polo team had joined the action, many other athletes were included. Among them was the world number one in tennis at that time,Novak Djokovic, football and basketball players ofRed Star Belgrade, and many others. Proceeds from the ticket sales went to fund "Bitka za Bebe" and enough money was successfully raised to purchase one hundredincubator.
