YBL flies Hungarian flag on HaBaWaBa PLUS!

The day of finals ended at HaBaWaBa 2021 ended with the U14 boys’ tournament of HaBaWaBa PLUS: at the Olympic pool the match between the YBL from Budapest and Lazio (from Rome) was played. The game, which was fast and spectacular in all the previous finals, became simply amazing thanks to the U14 Hungarian and Italian players, protagonists of a match that enchanted even Ratko Rudic, the legend of the waterpolo who won 4 times the Olympics as coach and currently is one of the councillor of Waterpolo Development. YBL took the victory 12-5, but don’t let you deceive by the final score: Lazio played a great game, however missed several goals and finally was beaten by the fantastic Hungarian team. For YBL it’s the first time at the top of HaBaWaBa PLUS. The roster of YBL, champions of HaBaWaBa PLUS: Akos Fiser, Tamas Fiser, Bence Tamas Janossa, Botond Matula, Bence Orban, Ferenc Pozvai, Balazs Szaplonczay, Vince Torok, Zsombor Miklos Vatay-Nemere, Kornel Aurel Windisch.
