Canoe Polo is now played by over 50 countries in all continents of the world with increasing press and television interest. Europe provides the fiercest and closest of competitions with international tournaments nearly every weekend throughout the year.

August 2010 saw a new partnership between Conti, Canoe Polo and the International Canoe Federation. Conti Canoe Polo balls will be used at all the World and Continental Championships from now until 2014.

About this new partnership, ICF Canoe Polo Chairman, Greg Smale says; “In 2009 we saw the Conti ball being used at the Asian Championships. We were immediately impressed and having extensive technical experience in Canoe Polo for many years it seemed an ideal choice to choose Conti as our ball provider. I can only praise Conti for their professional approach to supporting Canoe Polo and look forward to working with them over the next four years.”

Mr. Yang, Wei-Chao (Paul) – Vice president of Conti Sports told the ICF; “Conti, as a professional canoe polo ball manufacturer, is very pleased with the corporation with ICF. We are very confident that players will be showing their best skills with Conti balls in their hands.”
