Its boring volleyball day, tomorrow will be even worse so maybe is perfect time to make alive some old topic. Let see what changed in last 5 years.
This is my list, be aware that is just my personal opinion and i would love to hear opinion from every single member here. Some of you are probably better with words than me, some of you watch one league more than other... so lets see current state of european volleyball.
Level 1: Turkiye, Italy, Russia
Level 2: Poland, Germany, Romania
Level 3: France, Serbia, Greece, Hungary
Ok lets start. Italy and Turkiye are at the top and its hard to say with league is better. But they will stay at the top for sure.
Romanian league is on the rise, and its matter of time when bigger names will start arriving in top5 teams. And they will have bigger budgets eventually. They can try to enter top4 leagues, they cannot beat Russia, because Russia have a huge base of russian players and just money will not help them go over Russian league. But they will challenge Poland league in future.
German league is there in top6, and they will stay there for now. But they are very close with Romania and not too much behind Poland.
Level 3 is hard to say, all 4 leagues are almost same level. We can argue which league is most watched, which leagues is better organized, which league have better salaries but in general top clubs from each leagues would play equal matches. Differences are very small.
