Provided that they make it.

I was saying that because there are large number of Polish immigrants and American poles living in Chicago.
It will possible to be Poland Home Game if Poland can make it to final.
In fact, USA did hosted VNL pool station in Chicago last year, the pool was with Poland, Iran and Serbia. It did looked like Poland Home Game to me, even Iranians fans were there more than Americans. LOL. Just go check it out. It's funny.

Yes, I know that there is a large Polish population in the Chicago area, and often USA volleyball hosted World League with Poland there in the past.

Does anyone know whether / when the ticket sales for the final round in Chicago (7/10 - 7/14) will be available?

I see no one is discussing this, however, I think it's very important for VNL.
Especially, I do care about the unreasonable travel maps. I hope the algorithm provided by KPMG does help.
QuoteThe VNL Council also spent time addressing topics raised by the athletes as the FIVB aims to ensure their interests are well-represented. Last month the FIVB held meetings in Istanbul and Bologna with some of women’s and men’s volleyball players and, following these constructive conversations, suggested proposals which have now been approved:
• To make the team registration process more flexible for VNL 2019
• To implement a well-defined rest period after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
• To optimise the VNL 2020 hosts allocation and match schedule as well as team travels using the algorithmic technology provided by KPMG (already hired)
• To study the improvements to the volleyball calendar from 2021 onwards
• For the FIVB Medical Commission to prepare recommendations on athlete rest -

Not yet even for the USA citizens. I have even tried the venue and nothing yet.

Brazil's 14-player squad for the 1st (and possibly 2nd) week will probably look like this:
S: Cachopa, Thiago
OPP: Wallace, Alan
OH: Douglas, Lucarelli, Lucas Lóh, Leal
MBs: Lucão, Isac, Maurício Souza, Flávio
L: Thales, Maique
Leal is gonna travel to Katowice and join the team next Sunday. He'll for sure be among the 14 players.

Argentina for 1st weekend at home vs POR, BUL & CAN:
S: Uriarte, Cavanna
OPP: Pereyra, Lima
OH: Conte, Poglajen, Palacios, Mendez, Martínez (one of these last two will be 2nd libero)
MB: Crer, Loser, Ramos, Sole
L: Danani
Alexis Gonzalez (injured) and De Cecco will join later (probably around the 3rd weekend).

Bulgaria's roster for the first weekend in Mendoza, Argentina:

OPP: Uchikov, Chernokozhev
OH: V. Bratoev, Skrimov, N. Penchev, R. Penchev
MB: Gotsev, Georgiev, Grozdanov, Kolev

Prandi favours Martin Atanasov who plays for his club in Chaumont but the latter will be rested for the first week despite playing in the friendlies against Serbia in Belgrade. Obviously, the MBs and Sokolov need time to recover as well.
