Water polo at the 1992 Summer Olympics
- Water polo at the 1992 Summer Olympics
The Men's Water Polo Tournament at the 1992 Summer Olympics was held from August 1 to August 10, 1992 in Barcelona, Spain. Reigning world champion Yugoslavia had qualified for the tournament, but as it had formally dissolved in the interim, it didn't participate.
The successor countries didn't participate for several reasons. Serbia and Montenegro couldn't participate due to the UN sanctions due to their aggression on Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Croatia, was the strongest among them (Croatian club was champion of Yugoslavia and European Champions' Cup winner), did not participate in the water polo tournament, due to other reasons, that prevented the participation of Croatia, unlike the basketball on the very same Olympics, where Croatian team participated and won silver, being beaten only by Dream Team.
The rump-quality of this tournament was even bigger with the non-participation of Soviet team, that dissoluted in the meantime. Soviets were bronze medalist from the previous Olympics, and bronze medalist from Eurochamps in 1991.
The position of Yugoslavia was replaced by Czechoslovakia.
