Water polo at the 1980 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Water polo at the 1980 Summer Olympics as usual was a part of the swimming sport, other two parts were swimming and diving. They were not three separate sports, because they all were governed by one federation — FINA. Water Polo discipline consisted of one event: men's team. In the preliminary round 12 teams were divided into four groups. Two best teams from each group (shaded ones) advanced to Group A of the final round to determine places 1 through 6. The rest of teams played in Group B of the final round to determine places 7 through 12.

The event was held between July 20 and July 29 in two venues:

• the Swimming Pool of the Olympiiski Sports Complex (central part of Moscow)
• the Outdoor Swimming Pool of the Central Lenin Stadium at Luzhniki (south-western part of Moscow)

118,247 spectators watched 48 matches of water polo event at these venues.
