Living the HaBaWaBa experience in a thousand-year-old city, one of the most famous in the world: that’s what HaBaWaBa Venice (scheduled from December 26 to 30, 2021) offers to little waterpolo players. Venice is an absolutely unique place due to its geographical conformation (118 small islands linked together by 435 bridges), its history (which began around the fifth century A.D.) and the concentration of art that it hosts. It’s not a coincidence if UNESCO included Venice and its lagoon in their World Heritage List in 1987. Thanks to NDV Tour, organizer of the event and partner of Waterpolo Development, the little players of HaBaWaBa Venice will be able to discover the wonders of Venice during the tournament, broadening their knowledge and then living with an absolutely unique experience in the world of sport.
