The Volleyball Nations League encompasses both the women's and men's seasons, with the women's event having started on Tuesday, May 14 and running until Sunday, June 23, while the men's event started on Tuesday, May 21 and runs until Sunday, June 30.
In the women's competition, four places at Paris 2024 are up for grabs, with Italy and China amongst the teams that are yet to qualify. Spurred on by MVP Paola Egonu, current third placed team Italy won the Nations League two years ago, but Egonu was dropped last year and has been brought back into the fold by new coach Julio Velasco. In a similar vein, China's hopes have been boosted by the long awaited return of Zhu Ting, following a succession of wrist issues, although their mid-table placing may be cause for concern at this early stage.
The men's tournament goes one better, with five Olympic spots yet to be filled. And amongst the teams looking to punch their ticket are reigning world champions Italy, South American top dogs Argentina, and current table toppers Slovenia.
