The 2022 World Championship Volleyball Championship has reached the quarterfinals with 8 identified names: Serbia, USA, Earth NHY, Poland, Italy, Brazil, Japan and China. Poland is the only host country in this round.
Meanwhile, the host country of the 2022 World Championship Women's Volleyball Championship was the Netherlands that was eliminated after the second round. This team only ranked 6th in Group F and cannot continue.
The final summary of the World Volleyball Federation, the Dutch women's volleyball team has only 4 victories out of 9 matches, the 12th ranked final on the total ranking.
According to statistics, this is the saddest record for the host countries of the women's volleyball tournament. This is the lowest position for a host country in the last 17 times of this tournament.
This bad achievement of the Netherlands is equal to the achievement of France in 1956. Certainly, the Dutch volleyball will have changes after this sad defeat.
Few people know that, despite being a host, the Netherlands spends a lot larger than Poland. Therefore, it has many sorrowful rules such as Poland to play the opening match in the Netherlands and then return to the country to fight their matches, without cross -battle that the two strongest teams will meet in the final.
Many sources on the sidelines said this absurd thing was possible because the Dutch government spent 22 million euros to organize the event, the amount larger than Poland, so they were allowed to make these rules.
