Tournament Schedule

Serbia, not qualified for this Super Final for the first time since its inception, stole the World League title every single year since 2007, to the exception of 2009 when Montenegro won and 2012 when Croatia claimed the crown. In 2006 and 2005 Serbia/Montenegro were also the best in the World League.

Daily matches reports will be available on FINA website as of Monday June 18 until Sunday 23.
