2021 U18 Girls World Championship

    Quote from Bogdan

    And now it is official that Serbia will play without Aleksandra Uzelac, it was strange to me to see her on the wide list, i thought that maybe the rule has changed. But no, Per FIVB regulations one player can't compete in more than two age category in one national team season.

    And I didn't know that :) But the line-up seems to be nice :D

    this rule no one respects it

    For example geraldine play u20,is playing pan american cup and also the u18

    Polish Roster:

    Opp: Zofia Brzoza
    S: Pola Janicka, Wiktoria Zagumny
    MB: Justyna Jankowska, Natalia Kecher, Magda Stambrowska
    OH: Julia Lenik, Patrycja Łagida, Oliwia Pietrzak, Karolina Staniszewska, Edyta Wacławczyk
    L: Klaudia Łyduch

    There is no official roster for Turkey yet but from what I saw on social media this will be the roster.

    S: Dilay Özdemir(ECZ)-Elif Kapar(VB)

    OPP/OH: Pelin Eroktay(ECZ)-Beren Yeşilırmak(GS)-İklimya Demir(BEVİ)-Aleyna Göçmen(VB)-Melisa Bükmen(VB)-Miray Gözübüyük(FB)

    MB: Berka Özden(VB)-Begüm Kaçmaz(VB)-Deniz Zengin(VB)

    L: Yasemin Narlıoğlu(VB)

    7 Vakıfbank

    2 Eczacıbaşı

    1 Galatasaray

    1 Fenerbahçe

    1 Beylikdüzü

    Brazil had its final cut, the libero Fernanda. The 1,99 OPP Helena Wenk left the team for "personal reasons", but the rumors are that she had a breakdown and fought with tecnical staff. The girls will travel to Mexico tomorrow...


    OH: Aline (1,85), Luiza (1,84), Nicole (1,85), Kauany (1,81)

    OP: Larissa (1,89), Isabella (1,86)

    MB: Juliana (1,91), Rebeca (1,96), Luzia (1,99)

    Setter: Heloise (1,77), Fernanda (1,76)

    Libero: Sophia (1,70)

    :white: People were hyping her up to be the next big thing for some reason I don't know and now this. There's gonna be riots in Brazilian social media lmao

    Probably because of her height. She might've look good in the youth categories because of her early growth spurt, but if her other skills didn't improve then other shorter players who have developed those skills will look better.


    Maybe the back opposite outperformed her and she didn't like the idea of being benched? :/

    I think this is the Russian team.


    S: Kobzar (1.83), Rubtsova (1.80)

    MB: Suvorova (1.91), Zhabrova (1.88), Seergeva (1.97)

    OH: Zamanskaia (1.82), Kapralova (1.84), Demidova (1.88), Artyukhina (1.85)

    Opp: Shvydkaya (2.00, also MB), Popova (1.85)

    L: Khabibrakhmanova (1.74)

    Yeah, I'm completely out of the loop, but that seems likely. I'm not familiar with any of these girls though, so perhaps Brazil_lover can give more insight later on as they seem more in touch with it.

    She is not only tall, she is really good. But her leave from U18 NT was a real upset. I hope she can find herself and be ready for U20...

    The backup OPP (Larissa) is good too, but she is a bit more "raw" than Helena. Hope she put up a good performance!

    As I said, Helena is a really good prospect. Her height and technique were good for her age. But her head wasn't ok. Some fans were saying that the methods of the U18 coach were not good (aka screaming like crazy with the girls), some said that she didn't like trainning, etc. But all of this is gossip. Nobody really knows what happened. I hope she can prove herself in her club (Flamengo) and maybe even play Superliga

    I saw this screenshot. That’s her Twitter:



    basically she’s saying that those were the worst months of her life, she was crying etc.
