Olympic champions Serbia announce squad for World Championships in Singapore

The Serbian national team has confirmed its 15-player roster for the upcoming World Aquatics Championships in Singapore.

Selector Uroš Stevanović has finalised the list following training camps in Kragujevac and Trebinje, as well as tournaments in Šabac and Budapest. The team will travel to Bangkok for a joint preparation camp with Australia before heading to Singapore.

The squad features a blend of proven experience and key reinforcements. Olympic gold medalists Dušan Mandić and Nikola Jakšić headline the roster, while Boris Vapenski and Nikola Murišić—both recently cleared by World Aquatics to represent Serbia—add further depth. Vapenski returns after a 14-year absence from the national team, while Murišić, formerly of Montenegro, joins the squad for the first time.

Serbia will face South Africa, Italy, and Romania in the group stage in Singapore.
