Quote from "Adri"

I don't think that is true. There are some teams that didn't even tried to qualify for the world leaugue (If a qualification for the World Leaugue even exits).

FIVB choosing which teams will be play in World League and which not

Spain is the new European League champion, claiming a hard fought tie-break victory (20-18!) over Portugal in the European League Final in Portimão (POR).

It was the best result for the Spaniards since their 4th place at the 2005 European Championship and their bronze medal in European League two years ago. Slovakia secured the third place with a 3:1 victory over Slovenia.
