Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas issued a congratulatory message following the historic victory of Greece’s men’s national water polo team at the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan — where the team claimed its first-ever gold medal at the FINA World Cup (now known as the World Aquatics World Cup).
A Historic Achievement
“The Greek national water polo team has earned numerous prestigious distinctions and medals over the years, establishing our country among the global elite of the sport,” President Tasoulas stated. “Today, it has written a new golden chapter in its history by winning the gold medal at the World Aquatics World Cup for the first time.”
Words of Praise
He extended warm congratulations to the athletes, head coach, and all those who contributed to this landmark success. “You’ve made us all proud,” he added.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also praised the team on X (formerly Twitter), calling their triumph “a golden moment in Australian waters” — referencing the team’s earlier strong performance at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships held in Fukuoka, though noting the broader significance of Greece’s rise in international water polo.
