After ten days of preparation, it is time for the first friendly match before the European Championship, but also an opportunity for Kotor to greet the Montenegrin water polo players.

Our national team will welcome Georgia tomorrow (Thursday) at 18 hours at the "Zoran Džimi Gopčević" swimming pool.

Coach Dejan Savić will thus have the opportunity to test the 22 players he has called up for preparations for the championship, which begins in Belgrade on January 10th.

As part of the preparation period, the Montenegrin team will train and spar with Italy in Naples from December 26 to 30, after which preparations will continue in Budva until the European Championship.

The European Championship will be held from January 10th to 25th, and the "sharks" will play in Group A, which also includes Hungary, France and Malta.

The top three teams, along with three from Group C (Spain, Israel, Serbia, Netherlands), will form Group E. The two top teams from the new group will advance to the semifinals.
