Topsport Metropool facilitates the TeamNL water polo in Rotterdam

From January 2025, Zwemcentrum Rotterdam will be the new home base for the TeamNL Water Polo Women and Water Polo Men. For the next eight years, they will train daily in Rotterdam with the best facilities and be supported by experts from TeamNL. Through joint efforts of Topsport Metropool, NOC*NSF, Municipality of Rotterdam, Sportbedrijf Rotterdam, Rotterdam Topsport, and the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB), we have managed to facilitate the program in a top accommodation in Rotterdam.
The accommodation will be further adapted with a strength, rest and team room so that all current quality requirements and wishes can be met.

The water polo program is a great addition to the current TeamNL top sports programs in the Metropolis. 13 programs are already hosted in The Hague, Rotterdam and Dordrecht. In addition to water polo, the TeamNL gymnastics and boxing programs, the summer program of the Dutch volleyball men and the National canoe sprint program are also facilitated in Rotterdam.

With the arrival of the water polo teams, Rotterdam expects to get a boost can contribute to the development of water polo and swimming in the city. The top athletes will contribute to encouraging Rotterdam's youth to exercise more. At the same time, Topsport Metropool will seek cooperation with the water polo talent programs in the cities of Dordrecht and The Hague. This way, talented athletes within the region can progress to the highest level.

The agreement was signed during the Water Polo Cup Rotterdam. This is the last preparation tournament for the Olympic Games in Paris. The reigning European champions only go to Paris for one goal and that is Olympic gold!
