2024 CEV European League

    Quote from Gazzetta80

    I don’t like this format that the teams have to play 2 games in 2 days,it’s obvious from the results that most of the teams lack of energy (and mental state) the 2nd day.

    Yesterday Romania played at 17:00 and today at 12:00 in the morning…


    Why everybody in Cev and Fivb they don’t quit?


    They only think about the money never about the players…

    For me is more unfair the fact that not all teams face each other... For example, Spain had to face Belgium, Czechia, Romania and Sweden (all of them, qualified for F4) . There are other teams with a different path (f.e. Azerbaijan and Austria only faced two of these four).

    Quote from Matthias

    According to CEV site Sweden is 4th and Ukraine 5th, so F4 should be BEL, CZE, ROM and SWE.


    The whole formula with each team playing 6 matches and not playing against 5 teams makes the whole thing really random and potentially unfair.

    Yeah I just saw the cev website and Ukraine was 4th but now it changed

    so happy for sweden

    So the two finalists of this Golden League final 4 will make it into Challenger cup, and I saw that also the highest ranked overall team not qualified yet will make it? Good chances for Belgium and Czechia to make it then

    Belgium and Czechia are already in only if Rumania doesn't make an upset by ranking at least

    In case both qualifies to the final the ticket gonna go to ukraine

    Sweden is leading 2-1 and MB Linda Andersson scored 10 points already :what:

    Yes, and it seems that they will play against each other in Challenger Cup QFs.

    The irony with Swedens accomplishment is that they achieved it while Haak delivered one of her worst performances of her career up until this point. Herbots was the best scorer of the match and Alexandra Lazic almost scored as much attacking points as Isabelle. Haak scored 21 pts in five sets with an efficiency rate of 32%. I do not even remember when she had such a poor rate before or if it even has occured in the past for Swedish NT.

    Quote from lecoqgaulois

    i think you're wrong : Sweden and Czechia are qualifying for Challenger Cup, not Belgium

    Actually all 3 seem to be going :dance6:Sweden and Czechia as CEV finalists, and Belgium as the eight team filling the slot for highest not-yet-qualified world ranked team! Czechia will play Argentina in QFs, Belgium vs Sweden, Phillipines vs. Vietnam and Kenya vs Puerto Rico! This will be a fun tournament :box:

    So happy for Sweden to make it! I'm still dreaming the chance of seeing haak in VNL :cheesy::rose:


    What do you think chance of Sweden winning the tournament? I think Belgium is the best team here and Sweden already has beaten them. They might repeat same performance and hopefully with haak playing better than her last game.


    Are the finalists or only the winner will get the vnl ticket? Next year there will be 2 more teams added, I don't know if both will get qualified via challenger cup or via world ranking 🤔

    One via winning the Challenger cup and one via being the best in world ranking.


    I think Sweden has a great chance to win. They can beat Belgium which is the best team. I do however think they can struggle against vietnam, especially if they will have both 4T and their opposite, even if Sweden is stronger they have never met asian teams and their playstyle.


    Right now Im just happy for winning this tournament and also that this probably means we are already qualified for world cup next year!

    belgium is the best team??

    I tought it was czechia I didn't see them playing this golden league but they were close to the victory

    Belgium is missing a lot of the regular players like Jutta, Lemmens, Janssens, van Gestel this summer so I don't know if they are the strongest atm. Many young girls playing in Belgian competition are in the squad. Comparing that to Czechia and Sweden who are playing with (most of) the familiar names imo. But Belgium has a 23 point gap to Puerto Rico so if Challenger Cup is the final tournament to earn or lose points, they should be able to maintain the gap and get the world ranking berth, right?
