The setter situation is dire. Seki was inconsistent all througout idk if it's due to injury or maybe she's just not adjusting well considering she was so good at Busto.

ive only seen some highlights from eurovolley but due to the time difference here in asia i cant really watch live. but i saw on ilaria del prete and their videographer's instagram stories that some of them are already in czech republic. is that for the next stage? again sorry im not following

I don’t see Ferhat inviting younger setters to test for La28 when those aren’t what they should be focusing right now. They can invite 2 more setters and still not make podium in any major tournament

Display MoreWell they chose Chisato Hanaoka this year which is 1 year younger than Niina. I think there's an emphasis on having a pro career in there as well?
I'm not sure how JVA selects the uni girls as well, mostly by popularity?
Ayaka Sato which is in the roster didn't start most of the games.
And looking at the starting lineup, most of the time it's Tsukuba + Emili, so maybe they optimize for chemistry this tournament because they don't have enough time to prepare?
none of the ones you mentioned are in the senior A team

Maybe it's time for Italy to bring in one of their naturalized players from the youth ranks lol
Joking aside, I’m always impressed by how Brazil manages to neutralize Antropova and Egonu.
It was the same story at the WC, but Sylla really stepped up there; in this match, she struggled, and Italy lost.
I mean the joke is you. Your favorite russian was a total flop today. Egonu was in better shape than her and in the end she couldn't really do much.

Watch your mouth and read my message again!
Then stop lying!

Other sports federations said they will gradually reinstate Russia in competitions so why are some of you saying this is only for volleyball of course not. It is THE IOC's decision it will always be them first.

Who forced FIVB to return Russia?
IOC? No. (Basketball, handball, rugby etc. are still banned)
If FIVB hadn’t want Russian teams to participate next VNL, it would have returned Russia after August 2nd.
Then everything would’ve been legal according to the Competition (VNL) regulation.But not now.
Only TWO (of 13) members of FIVB Executive Committee didn’t support the return of Russian teams.You are lying
FIBA has announced that, following the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to lift restrictions on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in youth competitions, Russia and Belarus have received an exceptional authorization to register U21 teams in the conferences of the FIBA 3x3 Youth Nations League.
Although the Central Board confirmed that in other tournaments, including the 2026 European Youth Championships, the status of Russian and Belarusian teams will remain unchanged until the next Executive Committee meeting, scheduled for September 2026.

Is there a list of which foreign players will play in Japan?
Only for men's unfortunately. VBM will probably post a compilation before the season starts https://vbm.link/

There was a rumor that Chirichella is set for Japan but because she got injured she cancelled? but I saw some Japanese fans still mentioning her going to Japan. Does anyone know?

The volunteers here at VNL Pasig are getting a Japan signed shirt at the end of the tournament
I've never owned merch so I'm really happy -
who is Hammy? just started following since last year VNL
Maybe Hamamatsu? she used to be at Saga. She made the A team once and was never invited to the NT again after that.

SV League. It sounds like you're using chatgpt
-
Indonesia's fundamental passing techniques, block and dig positioning, and transition attacking strategies have become quite refined, and the AVC Cup demonstrated that their development is going well, even with some teams lacking talent. The domestic league is also very popular, and in recent years, they have consistently invited world-class talent to learn individual skills and mentality, which is a significant factor.
I also read that their league's budget is increasing this year. More sponsors.

"Pasabog" haha
Yessss iyakan na toh
there are still plenty of tickets available and they're asking everyone to share on fb or tiktok. ace asas is heading the event! -
The volunteers for the Pasig leg here in the Philippines get a free autographed shirt signed by Japan, USA and Italy
Not sure whether we will also get autographed shirts from Serbia, DR and Czechia but hopefully! -
I guess Andrade Leirelini is going as a "loan" to Aranmare. I'm pretty sure she still counts as an import so Kurobe is probably clearing out that spot. Andrade is a good player, though. I'd put her as equal to Stigrot, probably better at reception
Stigrot isn't renewing right?

I get it I was just annoyed that he was so set on her being an OPP when Busto wanted to sign her before Brancuska left, so clearly as an OH
Busto already talked to her way before they were negotiating with Wada because Akimoto was intiially set for Italy before Germany and idk who this Brancuska player is but I doubt it's as her replacement because now she says she's not comfortable in OH role but her mother wants her to play OH
