ORD MINNETT AUSSIE SHARKS CONFIRMED FOR OCEANIA QUALIFIER
Published Sun 13 Apr 2025
Water Polo Australia is pleased to confirm the Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks team for the Water Polo World Championships Oceania Qualifier in Perth.
The Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks will face New Zealand in a best of three series to determine the Oceania Qualifier for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships.
The Oceania Qualifier will be held at Perth High Performance Centre on 17, 19 and 22 April, giving the next generation of water polo players the chance to see their heroes in action, with juniors from across the country descending on the west coast for the 2025 Australian Youth Water Polo Championships.
After his debut Games in Paris, Ord Minnett Aussie Sharks Olympian, and Perth local, Luke Pavillard said he’s looking forward to heading back to where it all began.
“I’m always excited to play and represent Australia in front of a home crowd, it’s been several years since the last time I had the opportunity so it’s special that my family and friends can be there to support me.
“After Paris, I know everyone is excited for this next Olympic cycle and for it to really kick off against New Zealand in Perth is a feeling I can’t really put into words.
“The amount of belief the team has after Paris is still so strong and we all can’t wait to get back in the water together and continue our journey towards LA,” he said.
Tickets are on sale for all three games, starting at $19.80 per person. CLICK HERE to purchase
