The main stage of the Women’s Volleyball League of Nations is coming to an end. Immediately after them, the last tournaments will be played by gentlemen. The Poles will fight in the Philippines, but part of the team will compete in the USA. One of the personnel has serious problems with entering the United States.
Polish volleyball players complete the competition in the main stage of the League of Nations. Thanks to the sensational performance of the wards of Stefano Lavarini, they will go to the quarterfinals in Arlington as favorites. The volleyball players of Nikola Grbic, as the hosts of the final tournament, were guaranteed to get into the top eight in advance. The Iranian team is also fighting for a good result, which has to face many legal problems.
No visas for Iranian volleyball players
The Iranians will play the third VNL main event in Anaheim, USA. Since diplomatic relations between the US and Iran are very strained, America is reluctant to issue passes to the citizens of this country. In Iran, they were prepared for the fact that at least three volleyball players would be in trouble, because they are daily volleyball players of the army club. In the end, there are even more problems. Before the departure, the number of applications decreased. According to the TVP Sport portal Wojciech Janas, the team’s fitness coach, the team now trains nine people. He added that a minimum of 12 players is needed for a normal game.
- This is the bare minimum. It’s difficult because the eliminated Valizadeh is our main midlaner, not to mention the role of Amin. We hoped that Meisam Salehi would be able to help us, but he cannot fly. Milad Ebadipour has also been training in Iran for a week, but he also does not have a valid visa. We have the biggest problem with the middles, because no one has the proper documents, so we risk playing this phase with two players in this position,” Janas said.
Iran national team competes in the League of Nations
Employees also have problems with visas. The federation asked the FIVB to freeze the rating for the duration of the tournament in the United States. This means that regardless of the results of the team led by Behruz Ataei, their number of points will remain the same.
Iran, having played eight games, has a record of 2 wins and 6 losses. In the US, he will play against France, Bulgaria, Argentina and Cuba.
