This year is likely to have major changes in important volleyball tournaments of the World Volleyball Federation. These drafts have been given for comments.
A few days ago, there was information that the world championship volleyball tournament in the following years would turn to odd year and increase the number of teams participating. This is to avoid coinciding with the football World Cup.
Another possible change is that the Volleyball Nations League will move from summer to winter, the specific time may be from December to January every year. This is said to be more suitable for market exploitation.
Earlier, World Grand Prix and World League, VNL's precursor tournaments always took place during the period from May to July, before the big tournaments such as Olympic, World Championship or World Cup.
Immediately after the above information appeared, there were many negative feedbacks from many member feders when the parties thought that this change would lead to comprehensive changes in all other tournaments.
In particular, this affects national championships when most of them start from October until April next year, including the time of winter and welcome the new year in many countries.
This year, the world volleyball tournament is going on but does not attract too much attention, especially when the tournament shortened the competition format with the number of matches few record matches. Therefore, the changes have been considered to promote the promotion of volleyball in the world.
