Great Britain finished their first competition in nine years with a 15-4 loss to Germany at a qualification event in Otopeni, Romania.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The team have not competed since the 2014 European Championship qualifiers because of “restructures and reforms in the sport”, say British Swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Britain lost all four of their games at the event, which ran from 9-12 March.<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as their defeat to Germany, they were beaten by Romania, Ukraine and Malta.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results in the World Aquatics Men’s Water Polo World Cup B Division Continental Qualification event mean Britain will not take part in the division 2 World Cup in Berlin, to be held in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why has the team not competed in nine years?<\/h3>\n

UK Sport <\/span>withdrew its funding<\/span><\/a> for water polo in 2014 as one of four sports to lose financial support, along with synchronised swimming, basketball and weightlifting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renewed funding from UK Sport has enabled the team to start competing again and the organisation part-funded Britain’s trip to the qualifying event in Romania.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
