In the ACI marina Opatija in Ičići, the recording of the new calendar has begun of the Croatian Water Polo Association.
The already traditional filming was attended by water polo players Konstantin Kharkov, Luka Bukić, Franko Lazić and Matias Biljaka, while the author of the photos is the famous fashion photographer Šime Eškinja. In addition to the location in Ičići, the calendar will also be completed with water polo players in ACI marinas Split and Dubrovnik.
In this way, we will have the opportunity to see some of the most popular Croatian nautical destinations in one place, as well as successful Croatian water polo players who will adorn the Association's calendar for the coming year, 2025, according to the Croatian Water Polo Association.
"The special feature of the calendar is that it will gather as many as 18 water polo players, i.e. all those who participated in the national team's competitions this year, i.e. the European and World Championships and the Olympic Games. The calendar for 2025 will see the light of day at the end of the year and will be available to order through the HVS web shop. I would like to point out that more copies are requested every year, so I would advise all those interested to secure their copy of this most popular sports calendar in time. Therefore, this year we will introduce one new thing and enable loyal fans to pre-order their copy of the calendarShe said Ivana Janković, Head of Marketing and Public Relations of the Croatian Water Polo Association.
The filming itself, in cooperation with the Croatian Water Polo Association, was conceived by local photographer Šime Eškinja, who has been cultivating cooperation with water polo players for many years. Through this multi-year collaboration, Croatian water polo players and a famous photographer have already delivered strong messages to the public.
"Despite many years of cooperation, we try to raise the bar higher every year. At the same time, we are focused on various topics, such as our support for women last year, which we also showed through special photos. Thus, in the calendar, water polo players performed household chores that are traditionally considered feminine. I believe that we have sent a really strong message. This year the theme is completely different. We are shooting in beautiful ACI marinas, and I can't tell you the rest for now. However, you will have to wait until the calendar comes out", he pointed out Šime Eškinja.
