November 11, 2019 – Andro Buslje and Maro Jokovic are fighting for the title of Total Waterpolo Player 2019 organized by the water polo portal of the same name.
After Sandro Sukno became the first Croatian to win the Total Player title in 2017 and Luka Loncar won the title of the best center in the world for two years in a row, Croatian representatives once again have the opportunity to gain the highest individual recognition in water polo.
In choosing the best, along with the voices of the profession, the votes of the fans can be decisive. You can cast your vote for Croatia’s top water polo players on the official Total Waterpolo Player 2019 website by November 30, with the winner announcement taking place on December 16, 2019.
Interestingly, this year, there are eight Croatian representatives among the 77 jury representatives from 18 countries. In addition to men’s and women’s national team coaches, Ivica Tuck and Marija Caleta, votes will also be cast by coaches Zoran Bajic (HAVK Mladost), Ivan Asic (VK Jadran Split), Elvis Fatovic (Australia coach), Dean Bauer (Sport news), portal dance.hr, and Sandro Sukno (Total Player 2017), who joined Croatia’s national team staff last season after retirement. You can follow the expert jury’s voices, which are published daily here.
Last year’s winners include former Jug Dubrovnik player Felipe Perrone and Russian Ekaterina Prokofyeva.
