TheWorldisatHaBaWaBa2026:DiscovertheTeams!

Once again, “the game of the ball in the water” will succeed in uniting the world through sport: 137 teams will participate in the HaBaWaBa International Festival 2026, confirming its status as the premier global waterpolo event for kids. From June 14th to 28th, the Bella Italia & EFA Village in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Italy) will transform into the world capital of waterpolo: the Festival will create a unique multicultural environment, offering over 1,500 little waterpolo players an unforgettable life experience that goes beyond the boundaries of sport. This is made possible by the passion of the HaBaWaBa international community - comprising not only players and coaches but also their families - as well as the commitment of Waterpolo Development and the support of its institutional partners (FIN, World Aquatics, European Aquatics, and CONI) and its sponsors: Turbo, Compact Goals, Ossidabile, and All Risks – Consulenze Assicurative. The HaBaWaBa International Festival 2026 will feature teams from 4 continents and 17 nations. In the pools, young players will represent Australia, China, Cyprus, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Monaco, Singapore, Switzerland, and Hungary. The schedule is as follows:

• June 14th – 21st: tournaments for the U9 mixed teams (19 registered squads) and U11 mixed teams (62).
• June 21st – 28th: it’s time for the U13 competitions, featuring both the girls' tournament (7 squads) and the mixed teams competition (49).

Below you can find the complete list of teams registered for the HaBaWaBa International Festival 2026. Further details - starting with the groups for the first phase of the competitions - will soon be available on WPDWorld.com and HaBaWaBa.com, as well as on the official HaBaWaBa app. The app, which will soon be updated with the names and photos of all the little players, is available for free download from Google Play and the Apple Store. The Festival is about to return: get ready to meet the world at HaBaWaBa!
