Road to the Final Four

Tomorrow marks a pivotal moment in the Champions League of women’s water polo, as Catania’s very own Ekipe Orizzonte sets out to demonstrate their mettle in the quarter-finals. Their opponents for this high-stakes encounter are the formidable Hungarians from Ferencváros. This clash is not just any match; it’s a rousing battle where the home team will need to keep their wits about them while showcasing stellar team spirit. Bronte Halligan, the dynamic number 2 for Ekipe Orizzonte, shared her excitement for the home fixture.

“It's fantastic to kick off the quarter-finals at home,” Halligan said. “Ferencváros boasts a squad full of talented players, but we’re feeling prepared and focused for this challenge. We must remain vigilant and aggressive throughout the game, working together as a cohesive unit. If we manage to do that, we stand a chance of delivering a memorable performance, which is what I’m hoping for.”

Halligan added a heartfelt appeal for the local fanbase: “We’re definitely hoping for a full pool tomorrow, with all our supporters in the stands, as they always provide us with that much-needed boost.”

The return leg against Ferencváros is set to unfold on Saturday, March 29, in Budapest. The stakes could not be higher, as only those who advance will secure a spot in the Final Four.
