The two preliminary pools of the men’s water polo tournament were a very close affair, and the group winners, Hungary and Spain, both lost their quarter-final matches. The semi-finals were played between Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, three teams from the former Yugoslavia, three-time Olympic champion between 1968 and 1988, and Italy.
The two big tournament favorites played in the final, which was won by Serbia, winner of the 2015 World League. Croatia, defending World Champion, won the silver medal, while Italy, who had just made the Olympics at the last qualification tournament in their own country, took the bronze medal.
