Romanian Olympic Center Sydney 2000 is hosting, on 17-18 February, the first international Canoe Polo competition in Romania, an occasion taken by the Romanian Canoe-Kayac Federation to officially launch in Romania this sport discipline that combines polo and kayac-canoe elements.

Weekend tournament will gather four teams: two national ones (Romania and Great Britain), and two local club teams (“Shark” Constanţa and Nautical Sports Club “Titanii” Bucharest / CSN Titanii).

British sports officials of Canoe Polo will deliver training sessions with this sports rules and arbitration.

Entrance is free, both for training and the matches.

Competition will take place as follows:

Saturday

10.00-12.00: training UK

17.00-18.15: training UK

18.15-19.30: matches - Shark Constanța vs Great Britain and CSN Titanii vs. Shark Constanța

Canoe Polo is a sport almost unknown to Romanians, but it has been practiced since 1970 in Western countries, where European and world championships are organized. The most valuable national teams in the world are the Netherlands, France and Australia (men), and Germany and the UK (women).

Canoe Polo has great chances to be introduced into the Olympic program.
