Water polo at the 1984 Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Water polo at the 1984 Summer Olympics as usual was part of the swimming sport, the other two being swimming and diving. They were not seen as three separate sports, because they all were governed by one federation — FINA. Water polo discipline consisted of one event: the men's team competition.

In the preliminary round twelve 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 first eight teams qualified for the 1985 FINA Men's Water Polo World Cup in Duisburg, West Germany.
