2024 CEV European League

Quote from Sassy

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?

Yes they could qualify trough ranking

Van Gestel retired from volleyball.

I think Stragier is doing a good job replacing her though, but still 4 out of 7 starters not being with NT (this summer) compared to the last few year's squad is quite a lot. With only van Avermaet as "experienced" MB there is no doubt that they should play with Martin as opposite instead of Silke as sliding opposite, so I guess the absence of some is a win for their tactics

I think Belgium will win the challenger cup. Sweden can not survive a long and tough tournemant like VNL.

Herbors and Van Armaet probably will not attend.

Canada is surviving with a very thin pool of players. Actually playing in high level can help the others players to improve.

Quote from Phil

Do you know if they will play Euro Volley qualification this summer?

Belgium is in a pool with Denmark and Hungary.

Yes they will play.

They will not play in challenger right? Your comment is about this year's challenger?

That thin pool is bigger than team Sweden.

Where have you heard this? I haven't heard anything about Haak not joining, in interview they said they are excited for challenger cup since they can get points also for world championship next year. She hasn't got anything else to do either so.

You are right, FIVB site has a article about it. That is so weird to me. =/

It's mentioned in this article

Oh no, what a shame! Would have loved to see her battle with Herbots (again) in the QF but Anna & Alexandra Lazic are still with the team so if they just step up and show their best level Sweden does have chances
