As far as I know, in the next season, for the first time ever, a World Club Championship is said to be held...Does anyone know something about it, such as number of participating teams, organizer of the event, date, etc. During the IECL final I heard the commentator mention something about Trentino's participation in this tournament as a Europe champion, and also some old threads in FIVB website regarding this possible event, but don't know much about it though...

This is to respond to my question from some time ago
However, the last lines of the article sound like an ABSURDITY... Will there be something else new and stupid to be introduced - like playing with a basketball, coach not allowed to be in the sports hall during a game, or having all the 12 players on the field letting the team with the best bench win.. I would rather not see this new rule applied! -
The golden formula, wow, that's stupid!!!!
Also, maybe someone knows from which continents will the teams come from ( from Europe, Asia and South America it's not a problem) but what about Australlia and North America? (the only league in North America is the PUR league because in CAN and USA it's just college.

Doha Club World Cup to incorporate Golden Formula
The FIVB and Qatari organizers have agreed to apply the Golden Formula rule at the FIVB Men’s Club World Volleyball Championship, which is returning to the international circuit after a 17-year-hiatus this November 3-8 in Doha, Qatar.The Golden Formula playing system requires that the first attack for each team begin from the back row in an attempt to produce longer rallies.
While it will be the first time for the FIVB to test the rule, it will be business as usual for Qatar, whose national competitions have incorporated the Golden Formula to great success in recent years.
The Club World Championship will feature eight of the world’s best Volleyball clubs, including Italy’s Trentino Volley, Egypt’s Zamalek, Iran’s Payakan, and Qatar’s Al Arabi Doha. The wild cards are Poland’s PGE Skra Belchatow and Russia’s Dinamo Kazan, with teams from CSV and NORCECA to be determined at a later date.
The drawing of lots for the championship will be held in Doha in mid-August.
FIVB Board of Administration Member Essa Hamza Al Failakawi and FIVB Volleyball Events Director Piero Rebaudengo recently inspected the Doha facilities where the Club World Championship will be staged and were very pleased with their findings.
Mr. Hamza said he has great confidence in the capabilities of the Qatar Volleyball Association, under the leadership of Dr. Abdullah Yousuf Al-Mal, to organize a world-class championship.
Mr. Rebaudengo expressed his complete satisfaction with the inspection visit and ensured that all FIVB requirements will be fulfilled to an outstanding level.

It's nice, that Skra has got this "wild card". This tournament isn't too uch important, but is prestigous for sure. After all, it will be interesting to watch teams from Iran, Quatar or Egypt

Lausanne, May 20, 2009 – The FIVB announced today that the 2009 FIVB Club World Championship scheduled for Nov. 1-9 in Doha, Qatar, will be hosted elsewhere after the Qatar Volleyball Association requested a cancellation, citing financial difficulties.
The FIVB is in talks with a number of potential National Federations who have expressed interest in hosting the prestigious club event, and is confident the competition, following a seven-year hiatus, will take place as intended in early November."I regret that the organizers in Doha could not fulfil their obligations," said FIVB 2nd Executive Vice-President and Sports Events Council President Theofanis Tsiokris, "but we would like to extend our thanks to them for their efforts in attempting to put on the competition. The FIVB will now look to choose a new host country from a list of interested parties."
FIVB Volleyball Events Director Piero Rebaudengo also expressed his disappointment at the cancellation following fruitful talks with the Doha organizers in recent months.
"It's a pity that the tournament won't be held in Doha as they were keen to host it and proposed many interesting ideas that we were quite excited about," said Rebaudengo. "One such proposal, the 'Golden Formula,' will be implemented at the competition regardless of where it is staged."
The Golden Formula is a rule intended to prolong rallies that requires the first attack to be from the back row. The rule is already mandatory in the Qatari domestic league.

Today the draw for the World Club Volleyball Championship was supposed to be held. No information is available yet on FIVB website, but the groups are announced in Trentino's website. I haven't read any confirmation of it, but I guess they will know their opponents for sure
In one of the pools there are Itas Diatec Trentino (Italy), Zenit Kazan (Russia), Zamalek (Egypt) and Corozal (Puerto Rico) - as North American representative. The rest of the teams are in the other pool - Skra Belchatow (Poland), Payakan (Iran), Al Arabi Doha (Qatar) - hosts, and the last spot will be for the South American champion, which will be determined later this year.
I guess FIVB will publish more details regarding the draw tomorrow at some time.

I've read one year ago that United Arab Emirates may host Women's World Club Championship if FIVB approves, but I don't know who resigned, FIVB or UAE, and why. Maybe they'll make this tournament in next year. -
