Malta Set for Second Championship Clash Against France
Local
Malta returns to the pool today for their second match of the European Aquatics Water Polo Championships 2026, facing a strong French side as they look to bounce back from a challenging opening performance. In their first outing, Malta fell 21–12 to Montenegro, a result that highlighted both the team’s fighting spirit and the high level of competition in this year’s tournament.
Despite the defeat, Malta showed promising phases of play, particularly in attack, where quick transitions and determined finishing kept them competitive for long stretches. The focus now shifts to France, a team known for its physicality and disciplined defensive structure.
