Ten years of sports, education, fair play and fun. Ten years of waterpolo and smiles, integration and culture, sharing and friendship. In a nutshell, ten years of HaBaWaBa International Festival. From June 25th to July 2nd, the Villaggio Ge.Tur in Lignano Sabbiadoro will host the 10th edition of the event created by Waterpolo Development to spread values of sport and love for waterpolo across the children. The Festival that has constantly grown since 2008 to become the world’s biggest sports event for children from 6 to 11: a real pride for the waterpolo community.

Also in the 10th edition kids from all over the world will arrive to the Villaggio Ge.Tur to live together the experience of a lifetime, reinforcing their love for sports and waterpolo, meeting kids with different cultures and practicing educational activities. And they will be a real multitude…

In 2016 123 teams joined the HaBaWaBa International Festival

In 2016 123 teams joined the HaBaWaBa International Festival

The HaBaWaBa International Festival 2017 has numbers you’ve never seen before: 132 teams will take part to the event (9 more than 2016), 110 of them will play the U11 competition, 22 will join the U9 tournament. The Festival record of 3.505 attendees of 2016 (considering players, coaches, team managers, parents and fans) is going to be overcome. The playing fields are also increasing from 5 to 6, following the increase of the number of teams.

Confirming the international character of the Festival, the teams will come from 14 different countries: Brazil, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Montenegro, Monaco, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, USA and Hungary.

Among the new participants, there are Italian great team Pro Recco and a huge tradition club as Ortigia, but also some young club as Swim Action Pescara or Aqamanagement (from Naples). From abroad, the new arrivals are Turkish Galatasaray, Maltese San Giljan, French Livry-Gargan and Slovenian Ljubljana. Catalan Club Nataciò Barcelona (U11 champions in 2014) is coming back to Lignano after few years of absence. The teams that triumphed in 2016 will both be present: French Marseille (U11 champions) and Hungarian KSI (U9 champions). For the first time, the HaBaWaBa International Festival will host not just one, but two teams from the USA: Newport Beach, that participated last year, and United Water Polo Club, which will return after missing the 2016 edition.

All these teams will create an absolutely unique mix, which will transform the Villaggio Ge.Tur in Lignano Sabbiadoro into the center of the waterpolo universe for a week.

Because nothing is like the HaBaWaBa International Festival, especially its 10th edition!

    Ciao a Tutti,
    Mio figlio gioca nel team PSN ZRT. SPORTISKOLA, lui andrà HaBaWaBa International Festival.
    Noi la famiglia vorremmo fare una sorpresa a Lui, ma solo al fine della settimana.
    Vorrei chieder il vostro aiuto.
    C’é un website o qualcosa dove troviamo informazioni del programma, e accomodazione e altre cose.
    Grazie per il tuo aiuto.
    A presto,
    Annamolnar
