2012 Olympics Men’s Water Polo
Water polo at the London 2012 Olympic Games formed part of the aquatic sports program hosted in purpose-built competition venues designed to support international-level performance. The sport combines swimming endurance, tactical coordination, and rapid transitions between offense and defense.
Olympic water polo has a long tradition within the Games, reflecting the development of aquatic sport as both an individual and team discipline. The London competitions continued this tradition within a modern facility designed to accommodate large audiences and international broadcast coverage.
