At the 1904 Summer Olympics, a water polo tournament was contested, with three club teams of seven players each.[1] A German team tried to enter, but its entry was refused because their players did not play for the same club.[2]
The event took place in a pond in Forest Park, the location of both the Olympics and the World's Fair.[3] The pond was also used by cattle, and four of the Olympians died of typhus soon after the competition.[2]
Previously, the International Olympic Committee and International Swimming Federation (FINA) considered the water polo event at the 1904 Olympics as a demonstration sport.[1] However, in July 2021, after accepting the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon, the IOC recognized water polo along with several others as an official sport of the 1904 Olympic program.[4]
