2015 Montreux Volley Masters - Montreux / Switzerland - 5/26

So this overlaps with the Asian Championship? I guess China and Japan won't be participating then?

So simple.
U23\U20\U18

Sure, if China gets invited they could just send their U23 team, but maybe Montreux would rather invite another team in this case?

according to what Lang Ping said, China will give up the Montreaux this year because of the same time with AVC Championship.
following up, USA Tournament, WGP Tours and finally WC in Japan.

It is said that China can attend 2015 Montreux Volley Masters.
Whether U23, U20 or others (U23+U20, Montreux between U23 ACH and U20 WCH),
the head coach of the team will be Xu Jian-de.

Turkey will participate in the 2015 Montreux Volley Masters.

Turkey is playing this year at European League, Grand Prix, European Olympics and European Championship. I think Montreux will be an.opportunity for the youngsters B team like they will also play the european League.

Otherwise it will be too much for the A team.
