The Uzbekistan women's under-18 water polo national team won the bronze medal at the Asian Championship held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This achievement is considered one of the most notable results in recent years for youth water sports in our country.

The result, concluded with a bronze medal, was welcomed as a well-deserved reward for the players' hard work and an encouraging sign for the future of Uzbek water polo. Now that participation in the upcoming world tournament in Spain is guaranteed, the team has the opportunity to further solidify this result and defend the country's honor at one of the largest youth water polo competitions.
