2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship
The 2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship will be the 36th running of the tournament. It will be held in Netanya, Israel from 3 to 16 January 2024.[1] Originally awarded to Tel Aviv in October 2022,[2][3] the host site was moved to Netanya, Israel in March 2023 due to technical challenges surrounding the agreed dates and also to reduce the costs for participating countries.[4]

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.[5]
Qualification
Sixteen teams will be able to compete at the main event. They are broken up as follows:
- The host nation
- The top eight teams from the 2022 European Championship not already qualified as host nation
