What we certainly expect in terms of sports is to achieve a result, at least close to that of 2016<\/strong> \u2013 said Nemanja Marijan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction of a swimming pool is underway at the Belgrade Arena for the upcoming European Championships, which are scheduled to take place from January 10th to 25th.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>The construction of the swimming pool started on Friday and Saturday after the basketball game between Partizan and Maccabi. We can say that we are practically one day ahead of schedule, thanks to all the contractors and subcontractors who work hard here every day, every night. We are getting closer and closer to the final installation of the swimming pool for the upcoming competition in the Belgrade Arena<\/strong> \u2013 Marijan told reporters in Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He thanked the European Aquatics Federation, which awarded Belgrade the organization of the continental water polo championship.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>This is the third time in the last 20 years that we have organized the European Championship. It is a great honor and pleasure for us, and they are probably also impressed that such a competition is being held in Belgrade<\/strong> \u2013 added Marijan.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-aeadf2b9 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:waterpoloserbia.orgwp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Nemanja-Marijan-Arena-EP.jpg ,https:waterpoloserbia.orgwp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Nemanja-Marijan-Arena-EP.jpg 780w, https:waterpoloserbia.orgwp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Nemanja-Marijan-Arena-EP.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:waterpoloserbia.orgwp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Nemanja-Marijan-Arena-EP.jpg\" alt=\"Nemanja Marijan Arena EP\" class=\"uag-image-2836\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" title=\"Nemanja Marijan Arena EP\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">(Photo: Slobodan Sandic)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stated that the organizers are working hard to make the European Championships in Belgrade a spectacle.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>The pool is 31.5 meters by 22.5 meters, and the depth is 2.1 meters. According to the plan, it should be completed on January 4, and as things stand now, it will probably be completed on January 3, when the first filling of the pool will be organized. I believe that with the heating of the pool, we will have the first training sessions of the national teams here in the pool in the Arena as early as January 6, 7<\/strong> \u2013 said Marian.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary General of the Serbian Football Federation called on fans to support the Serbian national team in large numbers at the upcoming European Championship.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>I invite fans to come in as many numbers as possible, just as they came and welcomed our team in 2016, to support this time as well, and to come in as many numbers as possible to make their contribution towards winning a new medal<\/strong> \u2013 said Marijan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stressed that he is satisfied with how ticket sales for the European Championship are going.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>Considering that we have about ten days until the start of the competition, we are absolutely satisfied. After the first day, we are usually lazy about purchasing tickets, so I believe that when the competition starts, ticket sales will skyrocket like they did in 2016. I take 2016 as a positive example, because then we had a huge rush and a lot of pressure for additional tickets, which unfortunately did not happen. I sincerely hope that it will be the same this time and that we will all support our national team to a new medal<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secretary General of the VSS recalled that in the last few years, six or seven national teams have been competing for medals at major competitions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 <strong>So this time we have 6-7 teams, each of which can beat each other, and practically it is a question of current inspiration and current momentum. As for our national team, we always believe that we can go all the way, i.e. to the gold medal, but let&#8217;s not put that pressure on our boys. Our main competitors are the Croats and Montenegrins, as well as the current world champions, the Spanish, the Italians, the Greeks, the Hungarians&#8230; There will be fierce competition, but I hope that in the Belgrade Arena in front of the home crowd, our water polo players can achieve a top result<\/strong> \u2013 concluded Marijan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Secretary General of the Water Polo Federation of Serbia, Nemanja Marijan, visited with journalists today the construction works on the swimming pool in the Belgrade Arena, where the 37th European Water Polo Championship is being held from January 10 to 25.
