A2 M – Richard Korban is a new player for Lazio Nuoto

A big market move for S.S. Lazio Nuoto, which is proud to announce the arrival of Richard Korban, a Hungarian player, born in 1998. The second purchase of the Biancoceleste market is an attacking player, physically gifted - he is 193cm tall and weighs 85kg - who plays mainly in the good part and therefore on the left side of the field. A fundamental pawn in the chessboard of coach Daniele Ruffelli, ready to entrust a very young team to the experience and talent of Korban.

Born and raised in the youth teams of Honved of Budapest, Korban played in all the Hungarian youth national teams and for eight seasons in the Hungarian A1 series. His last club in his homeland was UVSE, another historic club of Budapest. Thanks to his physicality and experience, Richard can also be used as a second centerforward or central defender. A true universal player, who lends himself well to modern water polo and the game of the Biancocelesti. Korban is ready to dive into a new adventure, the first in Italy, with the historic cap of Lazio Nuoto

The words of Richard Korban: «I am ready to begin this new and stimulating adventure in Lazio Nuoto. I want to learn the language as soon as possible and get to know the Italian culture better. I am excited to meet new people and make new friends in this new chapter of my life. Rome is beautiful and my teammates welcomed me very well. I am sure it will be a positive year for me and for the team: I can't wait to start playing to achieve our goals".
