Kenya. Kenya won African Champs, Egypt runner up. Cameroon fell of a bit.
Kenya is on top of African teams in FIVB ranking but final ticket to be given in 17th June to highest ranked team. The same for Asian team. Now China is on top.

Too bad we won’t see 2 pools of six. Besides the development of Some NTs the new qualification process for Olympics bring better teams. besides Kenya and France ( a team that can improve ) others teams can win against any other team.
How many pool for olympic? I would like to see a single round robin for all teams. Lololol but i know it won't happen. 🤣 too exhausting
can someone explain how groups will be drawn?
can someone explain how groups will be drawn?
Group A: Host 5 6 11
Group B: 1 4 7 10
Group C: 2 3 8 9
As you can see, it is beneficial to be in rank 5-6 because you get france and the african team.

\SHHHHHH... You shouldn't have said that...
Otherwise everyone will discover that Italy and China did everything on purpose...
Now we just have to maintain our positions...
No way it’s host+11 in group, LOL, what is this?
I mean it could be beneficial to be in that group for sure also in terms of how them knock-out stage will go. I suppose, since we don’t have clear group crossing due to odd number of groups, that teams will be ranked 1-8 based on points and set ratio and then play standard 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and so on..

For the qualifications FIVB didn't use serpentine system, so maybe they will do it similar way.
What about after group stage?
Otherwise everyone will discover that Italy and China did everything on purpose...
Please apologize Mr Mazzanti and the Chinese dude right now

that is how serpentine works, when you have an even number of teams per group.
Please apologize Mr Mazzanti and the Chinese dude right now
A rare picture of the two discussing the matter:

Serbia's B team will try their best at VNL!
Picture of the match for me: we were leading by six in the third set, a couple of sides out and an error were sufficient to put Poland back on track. I don't know what else to say about the state of the NT: it's dreadful and somewhere along the line we should sort this nonsense out.
Poland was very strong mentally here. They made up for a similar loss against the USA yesterday in the 3rd set. Personally, I thought it would be easier to win against the USA than against Poland in front of this audience. Playing against Poland away is the worst thing in life. Serbia found out about this at the last World Championships, when they could have been eliminated in 1/4.
If people wanna throw their matches vs NL to reach 5/6th place that'd be great
Off-topic but Świeniewicz is aging like fine wine, 51 and she looks 5 years younger than Maja
