HaBaWaBa 2022, deadline for registrations was extended

About a hundred teams have already registered for HaBaWaBa International Festival and HaBaWaBa PLUS 2022, but many other clubs have asked for more time to organize their participation in the two main HaBaWaBa events, scheduled next summer at Bella Italia & EFA Village in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Italy). So Waterpolo Development has decided to extend the deadline for registrations to 28^th February 2022. Interested clubs, therefore, will have another month to register for the biggest youth waterpolo events in the world in 2022: HaBaWaBa International Festival is scheduled from June 19^th to 26^th, HaBaWaBa PLUS will be held from June 26^th to July 3^rd.
