2018 FIVB Men's Club World Championship (11/26 to 12/2)

How much money did pay Fakel Novy Urengoy (RUS) for wild card?

6 out of 8 teams come from Europe and it’s called clubs world championship? What a joke.

Will be there on Monday in Plock. Anyone else?

I wanted to write the same, and actually 6 teams from 3 countries !

I didn't follow this competition that much in past couple of years. did FIVB announced a reason for not inviting African teams here ? unlike North America, we have Continental Club Championship in Africa.

the Iranian team "Khatam Ardakan" is not even a good team in Asian standards, let alone in such competition. they are a mid table team in Iranian league right now, and because of last minute injuries of Shahram Mahmoudi and Mehdi Marandi they can't even bring that team to Poland. I highly doubt this team can win a set here. maybe FIVB won't invite any Asian team next year

Well, according to some users here, this is the right decision to have the best teams in the world even if they all come from Europe

These are money championship. FIVB is selling a product for clubs and their sponsors are paying for extra commercial, if they want. Whole event is not too much related with sport for me.

By what criteria is this mid ranked Iranian team invited to this competition? Isn’t there Asian club championship?

well actually they won the Asian Club Championship, but it was a series of accidents that led them to this position. they finished 7th in Iranian league regular season but somehow managed to beat top ranked teams in playoffs losing the final to Sarmayeh Bank. and since Sarmayeh doesn't exist anymore. they went to the Asian Club Champs as the Iranian league champion. the AVC Club Champs was in a poor level this year (because so many competitions close to each other in 2018) and they won it and I have to say they had couple of additional players (from other Iranian clubs) for that competition but now in middle of the Iranian league that's impossible. instead they lost their star players because of late injuries making them even weaker. they have to use someone else as a libero because of Marandi's injury.

bruno started bad, again!
