Wild League (Croatian : Divlja liga ) in Croatia is the most popular amateur water polo competition in the world. Matches are played on the beaches of Dubrovnik including Porporela, Danče, Bellevue, Šulić, and other beaches in the Riviera. The final match, however, happens in Porat (Old Town port) every year. Referees are professional (they have FINA and LEN licences). Better teams usually play people who have been trained in Jug and have been good in younger categories. Mihovil Španja , a Croatian professional swimmer, won the 2010 Wild League. Coaches of Solitudo are players of Croatia men's national water polo team , namely, Nikša Dobud , Pavo Marković , and Tihomil Vranješ . In 2007, the coach of Porporela was a player of the national team Andro Bušlje .
