About the Award

QUALITY BEYOND RECOGNITION

The Total Waterpolo Player of the Year Award, first held in 2017, has become the most prestigious recognition a single water polo athlete can receive. It confirms the impact the athlete had even among the most critical judges of the profession.

By connecting coaches, media representatives and audience votes from all around the world, the Total Player Award ensures expert voices from the industry are heard and top athletes receive recognition for their performance in the previous season.

After last year's historic vote for the best players from the past two decades, we return to our well-known format, honoring the best performances of the 2021 season.
