SINGAPORE: The Singapore national women’s water polo team will be making their first-ever appearance at the World Aquatics Championship in Doha, Qatar, next year from Feb 2 to 18 as a replacement team for Japan. According to local media reports, the Japan Water Polo Federation decided to pull out of the competition due to budget constraints.

All teams have been confirmed except those from Europe, which will only be decided after the European Championship. “We are very proud of this achievement, and it has significantly boosted the girls’ confidence.
