The European Aquatics Challenger Cup is a water polo club competition organised by the European Aquatics. It acts as the third tier, below the European Aquatics Champions League and the European Aquatics Euro Cup. GS Apollon Smyrnis of Greece became the first champions, defeating CN Terrassa of Spain in the final. From 2024, after LEN was renamed to European Aquatics, the new name is the European Aquatics Challenger Cup.
History
The European Aquatics Challenger Cup was created by European Aquatics (formerly LEN) in 2022, with the goal of creating more opportunities for developing Water Polo nations.
On the 2 June 2023, LEN formally announced they would create a LEN Women's Challenger Cup, starting in the 2023–24 season.
From 2025, after the introduction of the Conference Cup, the Challenger Cup will become the fourth tier tournament in European club water polo.
