Red Star Belgrade without a license: The senior team will not play water polo for at least a season

It is a well-known story about the fate of the Partizan Water Polo Club, a seven-time European champion, and a similar fate awaited Red Star.

Or maybe even worse, because the "red and white" did not receive a license to participate in domestic competitions at all, so in the 2026/27 season they will not even have a senior team.

Therefore, Red Star will not be part of the Premier Regional League, because the club currently has neither players nor coaches - except in the younger categories.

It is expected that instead of the 2013 champions of the Old Continent, Vojvodina will become part of the regional elite and be one of eight Serbian clubs, in addition to four Montenegrin ones.

And what will happen to Zvezda? If there is no turnaround, they will take at least a year off from senior water polo.

Red Star was piling up debts to the Federation and the players, and the problems started at the beginning of this year when a large number of players left the club in the middle of the season. It turned out that this was the beginning of the end...
