“HaBaWaBa is an unique event, a famous festival in all the world – said Campagna, who won the Olympics as player at Barcelona 1992 -. It’s an international tournament and a great show thanks to the participation of more than a thousand kids. It’s really good to see how it’s constantly improving its quality and how the attendees are increasing. I wish the organizers and above all the players good luck: I hope they will enjoy theirselves and that their love for waterpolo will increase. There is nothing better than playing with a ball in the water!”.
