History

Men's water polo tournaments have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1900. Men's water polo was among the first team sports introduced at the modern Olympic Games in 1900.^[1] Seven European teams from four countries, including four from the host nation France, took part in the competition. The British team was the inaugural champion.^[2] At the 1904 Summer Olympics, a water polo tournament was contested, three club teams of seven players each entered.^[3] A German team tried to enter, but its entry was refused because the players did not play for the same club.^[4] The event took place in a pond in Forest Park, the location of both the Olympics and the World's Fair.^[5] Previously, the International Olympic Committee and International Swimming Federation (FINA) considered the water polo event at the 1904 Olympics as a demonstration sport.^[3] However, in July 2021, after accepting the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon, the IOC recognized water polo along with several others as an official sport of the 1904 Olympic program.^[6] Water polo was not played at the 1906 Olympics.^[1]

As of the 2020 Summer Olympics, men's water polo teams from ten European countries won all 27 official tournaments.^[3]

From 1908 to 1920, the Great Britain men's national water polo team won three consecutive gold medals at the Olympics, becoming the first team to have an Olympic winning streak in water polo.

Hungary is the most successful country in the men's Olympic water polo tournament, with nine Olympic gold medals. The team won three gold medals in a row between 2000 and 2008, becoming the second water polo team to have an Olympic winning streak.

Italy and Yugoslavia have both won three Olympic titles in men's water polo tournament.

The Serbia men's national team is current Olympic champion.

Notes

Having drawn a bye in the first round and having received a walkover against Austria in the semi-final, the final was the only match that Great Britain played during the tournament.
At the 1932 Olympics, Brazil was disqualified after their players attacked the Hungarian referee at the end of their match against Germany. Their two matches were annulled. Therefore, Hungary and Japan won their games scheduled with Brazil, by forfeit. For more details, please see the Official Report of the 1932 Olympic Games (pp. 650–651), and here.
At the 1948 Olympics, the water polo match between Italy and Yugoslavia in Group D was replayed. For more details, please see here.
Average height of 9 players.
Average weight of 8 players.
Average height of 11 players.
Average weight of 11 players.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia men's national water polo team participated at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics, and won a bronze medal in 2000. In 2003, after the country was renamed from FR Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro, the team was also renamed to "Serbia and Montenegro men's national water polo team".
In 1992, 12 of the 15 former Soviet Republics competed together as the Unified Team and marched under the Olympic Flag in the Barcelona Games.
France had four teams compete in 1900. Bronze medals were given to the losers of both semifinals; France took both bronze.
