Polish volleyball players started the world championship successfully by playing three sets against Bulgarians. There are two matches left in front of the Polish team, including a difficult match with the Americans, that is to say the third team of the previous championship. It’s the match with the US representatives that will likely decide the final layout of the draw, but it won’t affect the placement of Nikola Grbić’s players in the knockout stage.

Recall that according to the regulations of this year’s world championships, Poland and Slovenia, due to their role as co-organizers of the tournament, can count on seeds from the first and second places in the knockout phase. Concretely, this means that in the event of accession to the 1/8 finals, the two teams will face the theoretically weakest teams in the group stage.
