Germany: Dresdner SC and Rote Raben Vilsbiburg are qualified as finalists of the playoffs. Dresden will play, Vilsbiburg hasn't made any statement yet if they'll take their spot.

I remember, on Austrian league website was written that Austria has one spot, but i have no idea if SVS Post Schwechat will use it.

EDIT: it was mentioned here

It seems like there will be more spots. Isn't it?

1 for Austria. 2 for Germany...

Not necessarily. Maybe they both are higher ranked now, than in the last ranking list. We have to wait for the new ranking list (valid for 2014/2015).

My predictions are as follows;

Turkey: Vakıfbank, Eczacıbaşı VitrA, Fenerbahce
Russia: Dinamo Kazan, Dinamo Moscow (not confirmed), Omichka OMSK (not confirmed)
Poland: KPS Chemik Police, Impel Wroclaw
Italy: Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio, Rebecchi Nordmeccanica Piacenza
France: RC Cannes, Beziers or Nantes (not confirmed)
Romania: Ştiinţa Bacău, Dinamo Romprest Bucureşti
Serbia: Partizan (If they refused to play in CL, Beograd will be next one.)
Switzerland: Volero Zurich
Germany: Dresdner SC
Czech Republic: Agel Prostejov
Belgium: Asteríx Kieldrecht
Azerbaijan: Rabita Bakü, Azerrail Bakü

Croatia has 1 spot in CL but Croatian team probably will not participate to CL next season. Atom Trefl Sopot (POL), Imoco Conegliano (ITA), Igtisadchi Bakü (AZE), Vilsbiburg (GER) are candidates for the wild cards.

Germany will definitely have 2 "real" spots for women's CL next season (source). The only thing I'm wondering is if Schwerin as 5th ranked would be allowed to take the 2nd of these spots if no better ranked team except Dresden will use it.

And here it is, the new ranking list: http://ebook.cev.lu/competitions/cuprankings/index.html#4

As already mentioned above: Germany new with 2 spots (with Romania losing one of its two spots) and Austria newly with one spot (and Croatia losing its spot).

So Croatia doesn't have a place in CL...
3 teams - Turkey, Russia
2 teams - Italy, Azerbaijan, France, Poland, Germany
1 team - Switzerland, Romania, Serbia, Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium
+2 Wild Cards

In this case, most probably, Italia and Azerbeijan will get wild cards

The number of wild cards depends on the total number of teams anyway...but I expect Schwechat to use their spot, they played CL some years ago and they always play CEV Cup and MEVZA.

Azerrail Baku or Azeryol Baku?

It's Azeryol Baku I guess.

Quote from Medina

Azerrail Baku or Azeryol Baku?

It's Azeryol Baku I guess.

It's Azeryol of course, they switched names with its partner club which is Azerrail

the strongest teams of upcoming season are very likely to be : Fb , EcV , Kazan , VB , Rabita , Moskow , Chemik , Volero , Azeryol

azeryol? sure brako is there but what if the rest of the roster is scrubs? brako wont be able to lift that team alone and also chemik sure they hjave a solid lineup in agniszka-bedranek, ognejivic and bjelica but i feel they lack a strong attacker to truly make them a title contender (unless of course glinka goes back to the days when poland won their back to back euro titles in 2003 and 2005)

Rote Raben Vilsbiburg will not play in CL because it is too expensive, they'll play in CEV Cup instead. VC Wiesbaden won't play any Cup and I guess Ladies in Black Aachen neither, so there is a chance that Schwerin could play CL even if they were only 5th this season in Germany.
