The Serbian men’s water polo team will participate in the first 4×4 Water Polo World Championship, a new format that will have its world premiere in Dubrovnik from August 31 to September 6, 2026. <\/p>\n\n
The first World Aquatics Water Polo 4×4 Open Championships will be held in the Old Town Port, and 18 teams will compete in the men’s tournament.<\/p>\n\n
This will be the first global competition in the WP4 discipline, which World Aquatics designed as a faster format to complement traditional water polo.<\/p>\n\n
The Serbian national team will play in Group L, and in the league phase they will meet Mongolia on Monday, August 31, at 2:50 p.m., against the first team of Hong Kong on Tuesday, September 1, at 2:50 p.m., Georgia on Wednesday, September 2, at 2:50 p.m., and Spain on Thursday, September 3, at 6:10 p.m. <\/p>\n\n
Serbia will be represented at the upcoming 4×4 Water Polo World Championship by: Radosav Virijevi\u0107, Petar Jovi\u0107, Aleksa Petrovski, Miroslav Ran\u0111i\u0107 (captain), \u0110or\u0111e Ljubenovi\u0107, Aleksandar Kova\u010devi\u0107, Filip \u0106ori\u0107 and Petar Stani\u0107.<\/p>\n\n
How is 4×4 water polo played?<\/h5><\/div>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
The team in the competition consists of eight players. Four are in the water at a time \u2013 the goalkeeper and three field players \u2013 while the remaining four are reserves. <\/p>\n\nPHOTO: VK Jug AO\/Boris Basic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
It is played on a significantly smaller field and with fewer goals than in classic water polo, and the attack time is limited to 20 seconds.<\/p>\n\n
There are no corners in 4×4 water polo. When the ball crosses the goal line without a goal being scored, a goal kick is awarded to the defending team, regardless of whether the ball was last touched by a field player or the goalkeeper. <\/p>\n\n
A match is played in a maximum of four periods, each lasting a maximum of five minutes of effective play. A period ends early if one team gains an eight-goal lead. The winner of the period wins one set, and the next period begins with a 0:0 goal score. If the score is tied after five minutes, play continues until the “golden goal”, and the team that scores first wins the set. <\/p>\n\n
The winner of the match is the team that wins three sets first. If one team wins the first three periods and leads 3:0, the fourth period is not played. If after four periods the score in the sets is 2:2, a five-pointer is played, and the winner is credited with a 3:2 victory. <\/p>\n\nPHOTO: VK Jug AO\/Boris Basic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
In the group stage, a 3:0 or 3:1 win earns three points. The winner after a shootout earns two points, while the losing team gets one point. <\/p>\n\n
A goal scored from within the team’s own defensive half of the field counts as two goals in that period. All other goals count as one goal. <\/p>\n\n
In the case of a regular exclusion, the player must immediately swim to the designated corner of the field and touch it. After that, he may immediately return to the game or be substituted. <\/p>\n\n
Expulsions and five-point fouls count as personal fouls. A player who accumulates four personal fouls is ejected for the rest of the game. <\/p>\n\nPHOTO: VK Jug AO\/Boris Basic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
For every fourth personal foul committed by a team in the same set, the opponent receives a bonus five-pointer. After committing it, the team’s personal foul count starts over, and the count is reset at the beginning of each new set. <\/p>\n\n
The league phase will be played from August 31st to September 3rd, the quarterfinals and first qualifying matches are scheduled for September 4th, the semifinals and the continuation of the play-offs on September 5th, while the final and remaining qualifying matches will be played on September 6th. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
