2014 FIVB World Championship - Italy - 9/23

  • Today Polish commentators said, that World Championships will begin in the end of June.

    Right after the National Leagues finals! What an insane decision. :wacko: :wacko: It would be better in September.

    Right, also Polish commentators said about annoyance of order of next year tournaments. There will be no time to prepare teams and after leagues all best players would have to come to NT camps. But also coaches won't have possibility to check some players and keep fit. Also there was topic, that CEV makes huge problems to FIVB.

  • now we have these teams who have qualified in WCH 2014 in Italy
    (keep updating):


    Host (1): Italy
    Asia Qualifier Pool A (2): Japan, Thailand
    Euro Championship finalist (2): Russia, Germany
    South America Champion (1) - determined in Sep, 2013
    Asia Qualifier Pool B (2) - determined in Sep, 2013
    South America Qualifier (1) - determined in Oct, 2013
    Africa Qualifier (2) - determined in Jan, 2014
    Europe Qualifier (7) - determined in Jan, 2014
    Norceca Qualifier (5) - determined in Jun, 2014
    Norceca Continental Play-off (1) - determined in Jul, 2014

    i may not be the tallest,
    the fastest, or the strongest,
    but at least i can do one thing better than anyone else,
    to be me...

  • IMO Norceca only deserves 4


    1 spot should go to Europe
    and the other one to Asia.

    1 spot should go to Europe
    and the other one to Asia.


    European spots of 8, its fairly enough IMO
    it makes more senses to make the PO an inter-continental one or two
    for example Norceca vs Asia, South america vs africa, etc.

  • ehhh, FIVB will reschedule World Championships in the end of June, but NORCECA qualifications' Playoffs will be in June... :aww:
    P.S...When championships was in Japan the pools of WCH are known in November 2009... Now, will we know it one month before? Into the bargain without 1 participant team...


    This institution make me laugh last time... :D

    Great idea.
    Years ago, South America and NORCECA used to play one or two matches for the last spot. (Number 6 from NORCECA and Number 3 from CSV)
