Sliema Aquatic Sports Club has officially announced a landmark long-term partnership with the Barcelona International Water Polo Academy (BIWPA) to launch the newly rebranded Sliema ASC x BIWPA Academy. This collaboration bridges Maltese sports with one of the world’s most recognized international water polo academies.

A New Era for Youth Development

The partnership aims to elevate the training structure for the next generation of water polo athletes. By joining forces with Barcelona-based BIWPA, Sliema ASC will provide its players and coaching staff with direct access to:

• World-class expertise and elite training methodologies.
• International opportunities and global community connections.
• Structured pathways designed for long-term player development.

Shared Vision for Excellence

The Sliema ASC x BIWPA Academy is built on a clear vision to foster an environment where young athletes can maximize their technical, tactical, and physical abilities. Through modern and consistent training frameworks, academy members will benefit from internationally recognized best practices, advanced educational resources, and specialized talent development programs.

Elevating Maltese Water Polo

Sliema ASC has long established itself as a premier talent pipeline within Maltese water polo, successfully producing generations of players who have gone on to represent both the club and the Maltese national team. This new venture marks the next evolutionary step in that journey—strengthening an already proven local pathway with elite international standards to help young athletes reach the highest levels of the sport.
