In the past few days, Budapest hosted a tournament organized in honor of one of the greatest water polo players of all time, Tibor Benedek, and young boys from Kotor also had a notable performance.

Juniors from Primorje won third place in the tournament in which Hungarian water polo giants Honved, Vašaš, Ferencvaroš, then Solnok, Benedek's first club KSI, as well as Bečej from Serbia participated.

The team led from the bench by Veljko Uskoković and Uglješa Brguljan beat Vašaš (13:12), KSI (15:8), Honved (14:4), Solnok (16:11), while they were defeated by FTC (8: 7).

In the capital of Hungary, Srđan Janović shone - the son of the legendary Montenegrin water polo player Nikola was the best scorer of the tournament with 18 goals.

The best club in the end was Vašaš, while Ferencvaros took second place.

As a player and as a coach, Tibor Benedek was one of the biggest personalities in water polo - in the pool he reached Olympic gold three times (2000, 2004 and 2008), while from the bench as a coach he led Hungary to the world title in 2013 in the final against Montenegro.

He died in 2020 at the age of 48.
