ORD MINNETT AUSSIE SHARKS ANNOUNCED FOR 2025 WORLD AQUATICS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Water Polo Australia is pleased to confirm the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.
A 15-strong team has been selected to represent Australia at the event, which will take place from 11-24 July.
The Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks team features five World Championships debutants, eight Paris Olympians, as well as captain and two-time Olympian Nathan Power.
Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks Head Coach Tim Hamill said: “We’re proud to announce and select our team for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships.
“Singapore will be the first opportunity for our team to return to the world stage since the Paris Olympic Games last year.
“We played a great test series against New Zealand at home earlier this year, and have just returned from a tour of the United States where we were able to win the test series against them - but nothing compares to the international stage.
“We’ll be heading to Thailand for a training camp with Serbia in the lead up to the World Championships. We’ve been refining and updating our principles and systems, both offensively and defensively, so Singapore will be a great opportunity to implement these.
“We’re also excited for the five athletes that will make their World Championships debut - representing our country and the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks is always a proud moment and I know it’s something that our team does not take lightly,” he said.
The 2025 World Aquatics Championships will be held in Singapore from 11-24 July, with the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks set to play their first game on Saturday 12 July against Hungary. The Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks and Ord Minnett Aussie Stingers games will be LIVE and FREE on 9Now.
