According to Daniel Bortoletto, Sesi is dealing with CBV and FIVB to host 2013 World Club Championship. São Paulo will probably be host.

Brazil is a good choice cause have a lot of big cities with competitive teams and big crowd that could host the competition (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, for example).

The situation will probably change.
It seems that Sada/Cruzeiro (Belo Horizonte) will be the host for the World Club Championship now. Let's see! I believe that RJX will be invited to play this competition.

Probably, but we can't state that. I think UPCN and Buenos Ayres Unidos can defeat Minas and RJX. It's hard but possible.

UPCN (ARG) won South American Championship and qualified for the World Club Championship.

Apart from Trentino, there are only new participants so far. Of course, maybe Cruzeiro with a chance to appear in a second straight championship as a Brazilian vice-champion. Should be quite an interesting tournament.

Same thing. I'm expecting an interesting championship too. European clubs are better, but Brazil clubs have good players and Argentina is improving year by year.

Host city is Betim, near Belo Horizonte. The competition will be held from 15 to 20 October at Divino Braga Hall.

The participating teams
Lokomotiv Novosibirsk (RUS) - CEV champion
Trentino (ITA) - Current champion
UPCN (ARG) - CSV champion
Cruzeiro (BRA) - Organiser
Kalan Mazandaran (IRI) - AVC champion
Sfax (TUN) - CAVB champion
Club Romana (DOM) - NORCECA champion
Panasonic (JPN) - Wild Card

Prize money - $550,000

Betim will probably host 2014 competition too.

Kaleh will have a poor team here only 10 players and 5 of them are from the U23 team only because they are in available Brazil because of World U23 Championship, since their own players are not available at the moment ! only 5 of these players (Sajjadi, Jadidi, Ebadipour, Nariman and Ghara) are in real Kaleh roster for the upcoming season

Quote from Bartek

Club Romana from DOM, country which in men's world volleyball doesn't exist, called Norceca Champion.

They should create even mini tour with USA, Canada, Puerto Rico Team for that.

I have a feeling that during matches on Dominican site will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Unless will be play DOM NT as Club Romana.

China and Thailand did that.
China just do it
but the problem is dominican republic.

I hope UPCN can do a decent tournment. If they finish between the top 4, it would be a good achievement. There is Nicolas Lazo, a promising player who played YWCH and JWCH

Italian teams won all 8 tournaments so far. Who is about to stop them?
Go Sada!

Trento transformed from the team with the least unforced errors into error-prone team that defeats itself. Obviously they've changed training methodology
