The Greek men’s national polo team defeated Croatia 9-7 to win the bronze medal at the world championships in Budapest. The Greek team celebrated its 3rd bronze medal at the world championships, after Montreal in 2005 and Kazan in 2015.

It is the first time for the men’s national team to win a second consecutive medal at a major event, as it won a silver medal 11 months ago at the Tokyo Olympics and the European Championships in Split, at the end of August.
