“Mikasa has been a successful partner of FINA and plays an essential role in the development of the first Olympic team sport, Water Polo. The quality of its products and the modern and dynamic design of its balls are precious tools that contribute to enhance the beauty and exposure of this spectacular game, thus bringing a strong added-value to this discipline.”

W6000W

One of balls Mikasa will deliver is the W6000W series which features wave design that has set the standard for water polo innovation. So much that this ball is stamped with the FINA stamp of approval and began play with it back in 2009.

Mikasa is always pushing the boundaries in ball technology, which is why Mikasa has been the official water polo of choice since 1980!
