This year, the FINA World Cup will take place in four Hungarian cities, including Budapest, Debrecen, Sopron and Szeged.

In regard to the venues in the capital city, the swimming tournaments will take place in the Danube Arena, diving competitions in the SzΓ©chy Swimming Pool on Margaret Island, and water polo matches can be followed at the AlfrΓ©d HajΓ³s National Swimming Stadium. Following that, the competition will continue in Debrecen, as well as in two brand new sports complexes built within the framework of the Modern Cities Program in Sopron and Szeged. In addition, the open-water swimmers are scheduled to compete at Lake Lupa, which made an excellent debut venue at last year’s European Championships – reported Programturizmus.

In addition to the men’s 400 individual medley, you can also watch the 4 Γ— 100 men’s freestyle on the opening day of the FINA World Cup 2022. The Hungarian 4 Γ— 100 men’s freestyle team had great success a few years ago. The European champion SzebasztiΓ‘n SzabΓ³ will have the chance to shine in the men’s 50 butterfly on the second day, followed by the women’s 200 medley final and the men’s 200 butterfly final. Latter is one of the most anticipated events, in which KristΓ³f MilΓ‘k swam a cosmic world record at the last World Championships. On Tuesday 21 June, you can watch the women’s 200 butterfly, in which BoglΓ‘rka KapΓ‘s is the defending champion. On Friday 24 June, Olympic silver medallist MilΓ‘k will attempt another siege against his US rival Caeleb Dressel, who was the most successful swimmer at the 2017 World Championships in Budapest, earning seven gold medals.

Important information

As the official webpage of FINA Budapest reports, the domestic team was committed to deliver the 2022 World Championships in record time, just within 4 months. As a result, the audience capacity will be reduced compared to the 2017 World Championships. In practice, this means that there will be a limited number of spectators on site. On the other hand, tens of thousands of tickets will be sold in several stages for one of the most popular and highest-profile events, the 8-day preliminaries and finals of the swimming competitions, as well as for the water polo matches. Therefore, you should not wait long to buy your tickets, which will be available from mid-May.
