Evgeny Sharonov, first vice-president and executive director of the Russian Water Polo Federation (FVPR), explained to the principle by which teams were admitted to the All-Russian summer sports competition among the strongest athletes in 2022.
The Spartakiad water polo tournament will be held in Moscow: the men’s tournament in the Dynamo pool (August 20-28), the women’s tournament in the Zil Aquatoria (August 20-26).
– This tournament is an analogue of the Spartakiad of Nations, so it was an important competition. From now on the teams of the subjects of the federation, the mixed teams of the regions will fight for victory. We made sure that as many teams as possible showed up. We allow players who can play in the national league. Some regions fielded teams that played in the older age categories. I think these will be traditional competitions and the number of regions will increase each time. It is important for us that water polo develops in the regions,” Sharonov told .
