Astazi in finala competitiei de la Almaty, echipa antrenata de Dejan Savic a invins din nou in finala (pentru a 3-a oara in acest an) pe Ungaria. De data aceasta a fost nevoie de executarea loviturilor de departajare pentru ca sarbii sa se impuna cu 11 la 9. Serbia urca pentru a treia oara consecutiv pe cea mai inalta treapta a podiumului in Cupa Mondiala, dupa ce a castigat editiile de la Budapesta din 2006 (ca Serbia si Muntenegru) si de la Oradea din 2010.
Portarul Serbiei, Stefan Zivodinovic a fost desemnat cel mai bun din turneu in timp ce capitanul Ungariei, Daniel Varga a primit premiul pentru cel mai bun jucator al competitiei
Medalia de bronz a revenit Croatiei care in finala mica a dispus de Statele Unite ale Americii cu 8 la 6, in timp ce in meciul pentru locul 5, Australia a trecut de Kazahstan cu 12 la 6.
Cupa Mondiala a oferit patru locuri pentru Mondialele de anul viitor. Cum Serbia si Ungaria au obtinut biletele inca de cand au disputat finala Ligii Mondiale, FINA a anuntat ca urmatoarele 4 clasate au obtinut biletele pentru Kazan — Croatia, SUA, Australia si Kazakhstan.
