COMPETITIVE WATERPOLO

LGBT WATER POLO TOURNAMENTS

More than 20 teams compete worldwide in the Champagne Water Polo league. Well over 500 men and women from 9 different countries meet all around the world to battle both in and out the water. 

  • European Champagne Tournament : Each year, around November 1st, all the European LGBT teams gather together in one pool to enjoy 1 or 2 days of intense water polo matches and a big ending party. We organized the tournament in Brussels in 2014, 2016 and 2019. And we will organize the 2022 edition to celebrate our 10 years anniversary.

  • IGLA world competition : We participated in the IGLA competition in New York in 2019 wining gold in the recreative tournament and in the IGLA competition in Melbourne in 2020 with London winning bronze. We will participate in IGLA competition in London in 2023.
