Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to invite you to the European Aquatics Water Polo Technical Officials Intermediate certification course 2026/2027 for Water Polo Delegates and Referees which will be held in Tblissi (GEO) on period 11th – 13th September 2026.

At the Intermediate certification course, as a part of European Aquatics education and certification program, will be present the latest instructions and applications of the Water Polo Rules which will be applied during the competition season 2026/2027. 

From the EA TWPC, EA DRC and EA WP Department we strongly believe that it is essential to address these queries in a clear and precise way and share the conclusions to the Referees and Delegates which will officiate at the games on upcoming competition season. 

For this reason, European Aquatics Intermediate certification course for Delegates and Referees is organized to discuss and clarify all new situations and guarantee a start of the competition season 2026/2027 with the most uniform application of the rules.

All the Delegates (EA DRC members and Pool of WP Delegates 2026/2027 registered candidates) as well as the Referees are invited.

For those who will not be able to attend the Intermediate certification course in person, an online transmission is provided.

The Clinic will be concluded with online WP Rules test for all participants.

The WP Rules test is prepared in collaboration with WWR and link to access the WP Rules test (with username and password) will be sent to all Referees (which will be present at the EA WP Referees list 2026/2027) and Delegates (EA DRC and “Pool of WP Delegates” members) who will officiate in the competition season 2026/2027. Successful pass of WP Rules Test is an obligation to be appointed at the games. 

The platform for WP Rules test will be open on period 14th – 17th  September 2026 and each Referee/Delegate may repeat the test in, case of fail, maximum three (3) times. 

The link to access platform for online WP Rules Test will be shared with you later from WWR. 

Herewith, you will find all necessary information as well as the registration process and deadlines for different operations.

We hope that this Clinic will be useful for all the participants and stay at your disposal for any possible questions.

Kind regards,
European Aquatics
