Thai Women's Water Polo Secures Bronze or Better at Asian Age Group Championships

The Thai women's water polo team has secured at least a bronze medal at the Asian Age Group Championships 2026, following their decisive 10-5 victory over Uzbekistan. This win marks their fourth consecutive triumph in the tournament, significantly boosting their chances for qualification for the Asian Games. The competition, held at the Thammasat University Water Sports Center, features a round-robin format with seven participating teams: Thailand, Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Uzbekistan. The team with the highest ranking at the end of the round-robin stage will be crowned champions. Thailand's squad includes nine players preparing for the Asian Games. Prior to their match against Uzbekistan, the team had won all three of their previous games. In the latest encounter, Thailand fielded their strongest lineup. Thailand took an early lead, but Uzbekistan managed to equalize at 2-2. However, the Thai team regrouped and maintained their offensive pressure throughout the four quarters, ultimately securing the 10-5 victory. With this win, they are guaranteed a medal, with bronze being the minimum. Their next fixture is scheduled for July 23rd against China at 10:30 AM. A victory against China would elevate Thailand to second place in the standings. In other results, the Thai men's water polo team lost their classification match to Singapore with a score of 1-25.
