Greece to Battle Italy for Historic Euro Championship Medal

The Greek men's water polo team will compete for the bronze medal at the European Championship, facing Italy. Despite losing to Hungary in the semi-final, the Greek team has the opportunity to win the only medal missing from its collection in a major tournament. Greece defeated Italy 15-13 in the second phase of the championship and is considered the favorite for the match. National coach Theodoros Vlachos will be on the bench, as the red card he received in the semi-final has been overturned. In the final, Serbia will face Hungary, with the Serbs having the home advantage. Italy, although renewed, has shown competitiveness and will try to challenge Greece.
