Anybody know which American men’s players are playing overseas right now? I just know Bowen is in Spain and Daube is playing in Croatia, where is everyone else?
I think Ben Hallock is still in Recco. The club shortened its name after losing its financial supporter. Quite a few players left, but the team will continue playing in the A1 Italian Division.
From USA Water Polo web site:
"Team captain Ben Hallock returns to Italian powerhouse Recco Waterpolo for a fifth season while Max Irving and Marko Vavic also stay put in Italy with Brescia and Savona, respectfully. Luca Cupido moves within Italy, from Ortigia to Camogli, and goalkeeper Drew Holland comes over from a stint in Greece to play with TeliMar. Tyler Abramson joins forces with Bologna De Akker after a season in Germany.
Elsewhere in Europe, Dylan Woodhead is back to cap up with Vouliagmeni in Greece while Adrian Weinberg, Top Goalkeeper at the Olympics, transitions to professional water polo with Chios after three-straight NCAA Championships at UC Berkeley. Alex Bowen rounds out the list of American men competing abroad as he moves from France to Spain with Sabadell."
I think Cupido is originally from Camogli, so it is a homecoming for him. Camogli and Recco are literally a couple of miles apart (on the Riviera di Levante)
Super awesome to hear Cupido is playing pro, thought he was gonna hang up the suit after Paris. He’s continued to improve every year and was my favorite USA player to watch this year
Are Daube and Hooper not playing in Europe?
Guess not which I find odd for Daube. He had a great season in Croatia last year
USA Water Polo posted a story on the men’s national team players overseas. Does anyone have information on other American players overseas, men or women? If I were to “adopt” a team, which should I follow?
