The 2024 Women's European Water Polo Championship will be the 20th running of the tournament. It will be held in Eindhoven, Netherlands from 5 to 13 January 2024.[1] It was scheduled to be held in Netanya, Israel, But the competition was taken away from Israel for security reasons after the 2023 Israel–Hamas war commenced. [2][3][4][5][6] This edition will be the first one to be played by 16 teams.[7]
Host selection
The championship was originally going to be held in Tel Aviv, Israel between 7 and 21 October 2023 (although it would still be called the 2024 European Championship).[5][8] But on 31 March 2023, it was moved to the Israeli city of Netanya and rescheduled for 3 to 16 January 2024 at the Wingate Institute Olympic swimming pool.[9][7] This decision was made to reduce the travel costs for the participating teams and make sure there was only one stoppage during the season instead of two (due to the 2024 World Aquatics Championships being held in February 2024).
However, after the 2023 Israel–Hamas war broke out, LEN said they would monitor the situation on 12 October.[10] But on 2 November, LEN announced that the tournament would not be hosted in Israel.[3][11]
After that announcement, Budapest, Eindhoven and Zagreb were reported as possibly interested in hosting the championships.[12][13][14][15][16]
On 17 November, Eindhoven was announced as the host city for the tournament.[1] The last time Eindhoven hosted the event was in 2012.
Expansion
During the 2022 European Championships, Israeli media said that the 2024 edition will expand to 16 teams.[17] On 31 March 2023, LEN officially announced the expansion to 16 teams, alongside the format change.[18][7][19][20]
Format
This will be the first edition where the teams are sorted into two Divisions, based on the last edition and the qualifiers. The top eight teams will make Division 1 and the other eight teams Division 2. Both divisions will be split into two groups of four teams. The top-two teams from each group of Division 1 will advance to the quarterfinals, while the other teams meet the top-two sides from each group of Division 2 in a play-off round. After that, a knock-out system will be used.[21][22]
Qualification
16 teams will be able to compete at the main event. They are broken up as follows:
- The host nation
- The top seven teams from the 2022 European Championship not already qualified as host nation
- Final eight from the qualifiers.[23]
