Organizing the final of a European competition, while also qualifying to participate, demonstrates the role our society has assumed in the international water polo landscape and the great potential of our project. We are just at the beginning, having supported a significant investment in the realization of Trieste Campus, and we will make further efforts. In the future, we aim to host other events like this."
