we will be very happy to see new teams in istanbul. if you want me to talk about our national teams progress, in turkey underwater hockey started in 1999 and we first been to 2000 worlds when we get there we had the huge sticks and we didnt even know about flicking
so dont think about how many players and what kind of sticks you have, just find 10 players and come to istanbul i am sure that you will enjoy what you'll be doing..
