AKIPRESS.COM - An international water polo tournament is underway in Mingachevir, Azerbaijan, AzerNews reported.

The tournament is dedicated to the 91st anniversary of National leader Heydar Aliyev. The event is co-organized by Azerbaijan's Water Sports Federation and country's Youth and Sports Ministry.

This year, the tournament has brought six teams together, while only four teams were represented in the competition last year.

The tournament features two Azerbaijani teams – one senior and one junior – as well as teams from Georgia, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Hungary.

The Presidential Cup is a preparatory event for the European Games 2015 in which these teams, except Uzbekistan, will be presented in the same compositions.
