Polish volleyball team at the World Championships. We know what to Bartosz Kurek
On Thursday (i.e. August 7), lists of wide warehouses, reported to the upcoming volleyball players, were officially published. There was also a set of Polish national team.
Nikola Grbić and his pupils just have a moment free after they won the gold medals of the League of Nations in a great style. The Poles won in their history a second time in this competition, earlier in 2023. In addition, you should remember about the success of Poland in the predecessor of VNL, i.e. the World League – in 2012.
Polish team at the Volleyball World Cup. Will Bartosz Kurek play in the tournament?
Interestingly, the successes mentioned – besides this season – noted Bartosz Kurek. Including the year 2012, when he was still a young representative, but he was one of the leaders of the national team.
“Kuraś” because of health problems in the 2023 season played the role of a reserve. At that time, Number 1 among the attackers was Łukasz Kaczmarek, who scored life – as before – the season in representative colors.
We also mention the gold of VNL 2023 because of the form of Aleksander Śliwka. The host, who was in the absence of Kurka, the captain of the team, was in very good shape at the time. What is the situation in 2025? Unfortunately, the plum suffered a serious injury just before the start of the VNL tournament in the Tri -City Ergo Arena. It became clear that this is the end of the representative season for him, and the injury itself can also be a problem in the context of club games for a volleyball player
It is hardly surprising, therefore, that in a wide composition of 25 volleyballers, Plum did not find his place. There is a cock, which before the VNL tournament in Poland and the later finals in China, confirmed that he would return to form in the context of the World Cup tournament.
Norbert Huber, the Olympic runner, also appeared on the list, who also returned to the national team after the break. Interestingly, the team on Sunday (i.e. August 10) will go to Zakopane, where they will prepare for the most important event in the season. Ultimately, 17 competitors are to appear there.
The fourteen tournament will go at the World Championships, so it should be assumed that the next names will soon fall off.

Polish volleyballers at the upcoming World Cup will play in group B. The opponents of Poles will be Romania (September 13), Qatar (September 15) and the Netherlands (September 17). It is worth recalling that the tournaments of the World Cup in the 21st century are particularly successful for Polish volleyball players. Poland won two silver (2006 and 2022) and two gold medal (2014 and 2018). During the tournament in the Philippines, the Polish team will certainly be among the candidates for the final triumph. Even more so after gold VNL 2025.
