A 14-strong British women’s team are Singapore-bound for water polo competition at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships across the 11th-23rd July.
Following on from the historic 2024 campaign which saw Great Britain women’s water polo team back on the global competition stage for the first time in over a decade, a team of 14 has been selected for the forthcoming world championships in Singapore.
Aiming to build upon their 11th place overall standing Doha, the team’s action gets underway with a Group D match against France on Friday 11th July [6.45am BST] - followed by games against South Africa (Sunday 13th July [5.10am BST]) and Spain (Tuesday 15th July [6.45am BST]).
Standings from the group stage will decide progression through the classification rounds, with the final women’s matches taking place on Wednesday 23rd July.
Preparations for the tournament have seen the team recently come together for a training camp in Athens, Greece, before sharpening their match readiness with a testimonial game against France in Paris.
Kathy Rogers - who will captain the women’s team in Singapore - spoke passionately about the groups readiness to continue making progress on the world stage.
“As the World Championships approach, the energy and excitement within the team continues to build,” she said.
“With only a couple of training sessions remaining, our focus is shifting to fine-tuning the details and elevating our overall performance. As a relatively new squad, the international camps in the build-up have played a vital role in strengthening team cohesion and chemistry.
“The motivation is strong, and the players are fully committed to making progress in every session as we work toward our goals on the world stage.”
Theo Nousios, Head Coach adding:
“We’re currently in preparations and building steadily toward the World Championships in Singapore.
“It’s an exciting opportunity for this group to continue developing on the international stage. We’re approaching the competition with focus and intent, but without pressure - our goal is to learn, grow, and represent Great Britain with pride. Thank you for supporting us on this journey.”
