Federal Government Helps with Renovation Costs for Water Polo Hub - Hanover's Olympic Pool Gets €2.25M Boost for Water Polo Elite
Hanover's swimming pool is set for a major upgrade after the federal government pledged up to €2.25 million in funding. The facility plays a vital role in training Germany's national water polo team. Officials have described the renovation as essential for maintaining high-performance standards.
The total cost of the project is estimated at €5 million. The federal contribution will cover nearly half of the expenses, ensuring the pool meets modern training requirements. Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) emphasised the importance of top-tier facilities for elite athletes.
The Hanover Sports Center pool has long served as a key base for the national water polo programme. While no specific data exists on its usage or impact over the past five years, the upgrade aims to enhance training conditions for future competitions.
With federal backing secured, the renovation will move forward as planned. The improved facility is expected to provide better training opportunities for Germany's water polo athletes. The project marks a significant investment in the country's sporting infrastructure.
