The World Swimming Championships in Doha smile on the French water polo team.
Historic performance of the French water polo team which qualified for the semi-finals of the World Swimming Championships by beating Hungary, defending champion, at the last second (11-10). Trailing 7-3 at half-time, the Blues had their heads underwater, but they managed to raise their heads thanks in particular to multiple saves from Hugo Fontani. It was finally Thomas Vernoux who, by scoring his 5th goal of the evening, gave the Blues victory 2.2 seconds from the end with a sublime goal. To continue dreaming and achieve a resounding feat a few months before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympicsthe Blues will face Croatia this Thursday in the semi-final.
