VOLOS-GREECE 2011<br />
16th FINA World Men’s Junior<br />
Water Polo Championships<br />
It is my great pleasure to welcome all the participants to the 16th FINA<br />
World Men’s Junior Water Polo Championships taking place in Volos<br />
(GRE) from August 27-September 4, 2011.<br />
With the participation of our best junior teams, this occasion will be<br />
once more a landmark in the promotion of this discipline. Water polo,<br />
the oldest Olympic team sport, is conquering more audience, more<br />
media and television interest, and is generating substantial work and<br />
attention from the FINA Member National<br />
Federations, clubs, players and referees.<br />
Team spirit and individual search for improvement are the two basic<br />
characteristics of Water Polo. This philosophy will be present during this<br />
competition and the participating players will be an example of fairplay<br />
for the youth and all the fans of this sport worldwide.<br />
In this occasion, I express my gratitude to the Hellenic Swimming<br />
Federation, the Organising Committee and the local authorities for<br />
their warm hospitality in Volos and enthusiastic spirit. I am sure that our<br />
best junior water polo teams will keep an excellent memory of this<br />
competition. I am also certain that the championships will delight the<br />
fans and inspire the future Greek stars.<br />
My gratitude also goes to all those involved in the promotion of this<br />
event, namely the spectators, media representatives, and sponsors.<br />
Thanks to the players, coaches and officials, for their hard work and<br />
excellent performances which enhance Water Polo’s image<br />
worldwide.<br />
I wish all the teams participating in the 16th FINA World Men’s Junior<br />
Water Polo Championships, the best of luck and for the best to win.<br />
Dr. Julio C. Maglione<br />
FINA President
Hellenic Swimming Federation<br />

Pelion mountain, with its own microclimate, affects the<br />
city's weather. The graph below illustrates Volos' climatic<br />
conditions.The city of Volos has always had a major role in<br />
the financial, economic, commercial and administrative<br />
