If FIVB will use serpentine system for first 12 teams as they did in last editions, pools will be as following;
Pool-A: JPN-NED-DOM
Pool-B: CHN-ITA-KOR
Pool-C: USA-RUS-ARG
Pool-D: SRB-BRA-TUR
Quite bad draw for Turkey If we will get BUL also drawn in that group, it will be the group of death We have a ridiculous tournament formula anyway, it really doesn't make much difference in which group you are for the first phase
