  • It is impossible to play with Turkish NT before the Challenger Cup


    First, there is no annoucement for Islamic Solidarity Games' roster so far. Team will not gather up 3 weeks before (even when you are host country)

    Second, 10 days remaining to Challange Cup. How could be manage 3 friendly matches in that period.


    I think that director guy is mentioned before the WCH22, these matches will be held in Croatia, according the news. I suppose before the friendly tournament in Napoli around second week of September (with participating of Italy, Serbia, and Poland), our NT will stop by in Croatia for these matches.

  • this is an older article (july 10)


    but the way this is phrased... makes it seem like before the challenger cup... so it must be not the senior turkish NT


    "Preparations for this competition started today in Zadar, and in addition to Samanta, two other great players will join us - Lucija Mlinar and Ema Strunjak. We will also play three friendly matches against the Turks in Zadar - said Frane Žanić , director of the national team."

    Missing a MB... and supposedly U18 Pan Am best scorer Grace Lopez (OH/Opp) is joining them.


    (supposedly) No Abercrombie, Santana... flop. (even some of the other non-mainstream players seem to be #choices)

  • they have 2 starting mb,setters,libero and 1 oh


    But the problem is the opp,after ocasio retired,they had chance they find prieto but she get pregnant and put volleyball aside,then they convinced abercrombie,these 2 players with one parent of puerto rico but never lived there
