  • why they withdraw?? isn't it due to swine flu epidemic in Mexico??


    Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to
    stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs
    you, that takes a lot of courage.


  • As Europe wrote, Italy withdraw.
    Russia and Serbia didn't qualify Qualifications for the Junior World Championships 2009



    you are right, ı thought that it is same regulation youth world championship, ı mean first 6 team can qualify for world championships.
    anyway ı wonder whether cuba's junior team is powerful as much as senior one :whistle:

  • why they withdraw?? isn't it due to swine flu epidemic in Mexico??

    yes Italy withdrew because of swine flu...our Federation didn't want to expose our athletes to any risk...they offered to organize the tournament in Italy but Fivb refused so Fipav withdrew the team...

    I'm not sure if this is an easy pool for Poland. Brazil es very strong, but it's not as in previous world championship.
    As for Dominican Republic, they have a competitive team and they have two stars: Eve Mejia and Joselyne Rodriguez, players that are playing for the senior team. In fact these two player were in the starting line-up for the Dominicans in the recent tournament in China beating Cuba and Turkey.

  • Seems odd, though... Do you know why Rafaella Dal Ponte (from Minas TC) is not in the squad? She even played a few games last Superliga in the main roster, and was in the starting 6 of the Youth World Championship back in 07. Also, seems he's taking 2 liberos, huh?


    Anyway, this is probably our weakest generation of the last 12 years (at least in terms of results) and if we get to achieve the gold medal, I'll be surprised. Let's see.

  • According to the news in Turkey our players was in custody by Mexican cops in justification of keeping drugs on their arrival at the airport and then discharged. It's really a burning shame for Mexico. We didnt withdraw the tournament unlike some countries but I guess they think our players are junkies as we came to Mexico to participate the tournament despite of the flu outbreak?? FIVB needs to warn Mexico seriously. They dont have the right to humiliate our young players with silly reasons like that. Maybe we should withdraw the tournament right now not for that flu thing but because of such an insulting behavior against our players.

  • @ alde


    Are you serious?


    Neither the FIVB nor the Mexican volleyball federation has anything to do with things that happen at an airport!

  • Yes i am very serious. Turkish Fed. confirmed FIVB, CEV, Mexican Fed. and Turkish Foreign Aff. about the incidents happened in the airport and Tijuana and now waiting a response from FIVB.


    According to the updated news Turkish crew was in custody by Mexican police in the airport customs without reason. They seperated Turkish crew from other passengers and they kept their passports. Then they gave passports back half hour later since our officals had disputed. During this time our players and other members of the crew had to wait in a custodial room for suspects. After released the crew Mexican officials wanted to seperate some players out of the crew saying that their access papers are invalid but Turkish officials didnt accept it. So new access papers were filled in again. After long discussions Mexican officials let them pass and our cortege had transfered connecting flight again to reach Tijuana the city where the team will play the group stage by domestic airlines. The crew has arrived in Tijuana at last but officials in Tijuana airport showed Turkish crew the same behaviours in the Mexico City's though this flight was domestic. At last the cortege has come to camping Hotel. Our players were so tired all the time and remember there is a huge time difference between Turkey and Mexico. So players had no chance to rest enough because they also need to train for first game today. Mexican officials had still no explanation why Turkish players and other crew members kept in charge.


    Yes, you are right. FIVB and Mexican Fed. have nothing about it but they are responsible to host the teams participated in the tournament in the best way. Because they invited them. Our players dont deserve such insulting behaviours. They are not outlaws they are athletes and most of them are just teenage. Do you imagine how their morals are in a bad situation after all of these?
