"Somebody" didn't say it... The FIVB said it...
From 21 septembre 2023 The requisite residency period is now extended to three years from the previous two. Additionally, a newly instituted rule clarifies that such athletes must not have formerly represented their original Federation’s senior national team.
I know 
It was just a language play to cut the conversation in naturalization topic .
No more naturalization.
Someone said that Arina Fedorovtseva's father might be Tatar (Turkic ethnic) can we naturalize her for ethnic reasons pre-OG
(seems like that one is acceptable to people so)
Somebody said also that after 21 September 2023 there will not be a player naturalization (who played in any senior NT) anymore 
As we have 3 groups with 4 teams now, seeding in pots and drawing. Just like in basketball.
Display MoreLooked at this a bit more, it is truly f*cked.
If the rankings don't change after VNL 2024, we would have these groups:
Pool A: France, Italy, China, Kenya
Pool B: Turkey, Serbia, Poland, Netherlands
Pool C: USA, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Japan
I don't know anybody who can guarantee to make it out of Pool B/C compared to Pool A.
edit: Maybe Turkey and Serbia, in my mind I thought Dominican and Poland were swapped.
If China will continue as in OQ feel free to take group B spot 
Finally
True 
I’m also very happy!
I don’t know how we today 2nd and 3rd set with Italy.
the same 3rd set with USA yesterday… what a history.
aaaaa!!!
will Brazil qualify if ever they do not get one of the 2 slots in Qualifiers? Will there be another competition?
Brazil will qualify easily because:
1. they are high enough in World Ranking
2. no team would be qualified from South America yet. So Brazil will qualify as the best SA team, even if they will drop out of the best 10.
Russia has 277.59 so for today they are out. DOM and NED needs to fight to keep their points now.
One of Polish journalist reported that Russia will be “pushed in” (reactivated) to FIVB ranking just before Olympics to play in Paris. Also he reports that some of the National teams were informed about that to “fight in the qualification” because there will be one place less from the ranking.
Huber MVP.
What's the regulation of injury substitution, considering that Vincic is not in the 14-player squad?
That is a medical transfer. Can be done after any players injury, during ECH.
23:19 in 3rd set was epic.
Referee decided to finish the rally and give point to Slovenia but no one heard the whistle so referee decided to continue the rally and at the end Poland won it and referee as nothing happened gave the point to PL. epic
it’s nearly impossible to root for this Polish team even if I generally like Poland a lot. What was Huber complaining about? And with such an attitude…
He was right that Ropret had double set, but they he protests is kind of bad…
I like Kaczmarek’s game a lot and I think he improved immensely, but his attitude on court on the other hand
Kaczmarek is 🤡🤡🤡
i didn't follow this tournament but see poland vs eslovenia at semis
How many times did they faced at semis in eurovolley?
Last 2 editions in semis, but in 2017 and 2015 in 1/4.
So Slovenia won 4 last matches with Poland at Eurovolley.
Everyone have their own POV. And for me European Champs lost it's prestige in a few years back.
When there were times when Euro champion was promoted to play in World Cup, it had some meaning. In that unfair Olympic qualification system all European teams had to fight for their chance. Now it's better to play good in more pointed tournament. So points wins at VNL are much more important.
But I think that Euro 2026 can take back it's prestige as the Champion will qualify to the OG. So there will be a lot of interesting fight.
I missed her on the list. Thank you 😊
Does it mean that Drewniok is part of the nt now or she just prepare to club season? She is not on FIVB list for qualies so…
