The stage is set for the Final Four of the Women’s Water Polo Champions League, with Catania's Ekipe Orizzonte ready to make their mark as the quarter-finals kick off tomorrow. They will face the formidable Hungarian side, Ferencvaros, in what promises to be a fiercely contested encounter. The Rossazzurre will need to demonstrate not only their balance but also a solid team spirit, drawing on the fervour of their fans, as highlighted by player Bronte Halligan.
"It's going to be fantastic to play the first leg of the quarter-finals at home," says Halligan, the team's number 2. "Ferencvaros have a lot of strong players, but we feel prepared and focused for this challenge. We need to be vigilant and aggressive throughout the game, aiming to play as one united front. If we can achieve this, I'm confident we can put on a great performance, which is what I hope for us. We're certainly hoping for a packed pool tomorrow, as our supporters always give us tremendous encouragement."
The return leg of the quarter-final between Ekipe Orizzonte and Ferencvaros is scheduled for Saturday, March 29, in Budapest. The stakes are high, as the team that advances will secure a spot in the coveted Final Four.
