The 2024 Women's European U-19 Water Polo Championship is the 15th edition of the Women's European U-19 Water Polo Championship. The tournament is being played in Zagreb, Croatia from 24 to 31 August 2024.[1][2][3] Spain are the two-time defending champions.
Host selection
[edit]Zagreb was given the hosting rights on 11 October 2023.[2][3]
Format
[edit]For the first time, the 16 teams are divided into two Divisions, based on the final standings of the previous edition. The top eight teams made Division 1 and the other eight teams Division 2. Both divisions were split into two groups of four teams. The top two teams from each group of Division 1 advanced directly to the quarterfinals, while the other two teams from each group played against one of the top two sides from each group in Division 2 in a play-off round. Starting with quarterfinals onward, the regular knock-out system was used.
Qualification
[edit]Seventeen teams originally entered, but shortly before the tournament, Switzerland withdrew, bringing the total to 16. Due to the number of teams, no qualification process was needed and all 16 teams competed at the main event. Malta and Bulgaria enter after not participating in 2022, while Portugal, Serbia and Switzerland are the only countries to not return from 2022.
