The Russian women's national volleyball team qualified for the 2027 World Championships

The Russian women's national volleyball team will take part in the 2027 FIFA Volleyball World Championship, which will be held in the United States and Canada. This was announced today by the press office of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (ARVF).

"The Russians are 11th in the world ranking of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB). Thanks to their high position, the Russian team has won the right to participate in the tournament," emphasizes the Russian TASS agency. Let's be clear: the Russian men's and women's national teams have been re-entered the world rankings with the same number of points as when they were frozen in 2023.

Russian national teams and clubs have been banned from international tournaments from 2022, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This summer, however, the FIVB announced the admission of Russian teams to tournaments under its patronage.

The women's volleyball world championships will be held in Anaheim, Omaha and Orlando in the USA and Montreal and Quebec in Canada. Inauguration - August 20, final - September 5.

Polish volleyball players, who advanced at the beginning of September and advanced to the semi-finals of the European Championships, will play at the American-Canadian tournament. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the Polish women will have to face competitors from Russia.
