The 2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship was the 36th edition of the tournament, held in Dubrovnik and Zagreb, Croatia from 4 to 16 January 2024.[1] Originally, Israel had been selected as host and the competition was slated to be held in Netanya, from 3 to 16 January 2024.[2][3][4][5] Due to security concerns after the breakout of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, LEN announced the Championship would be hosted elsewhere.[6]
