Attila Monostori

Attila Monostori started his water polo career in 1986 with the Tungsram SC. He later played for Kordax, BVSC, the Italian Pro Recco, Bologna, and Savona. He returned to Hungary in 2004 where he first played for the BVSC, FTC, and Szeged teams. From there he moved to Romania where he became Romanian champion four times in a row with CSM Oradea. He also won four Hungarian championship titles with his Hungarian teams.

Between 1993 and 1996 Monostori played 114 times for the Hungarian national team, including being a member of the 1993 and 1995 European Championship silver medallists, a 1995 World Cup winner, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics fourth-place team.

Monostori ended his active sports career in 2015. To be precise he never really left the pool. Even in 2022, at over fifty, he was still scoring goals in the Budapest Championship for the team with the fantasy name BVSC-Heavy, where he and several former top stars did what they loved most: playing water polo. He also coached the OSC junior teams.
