The favorites dropped out of the World Cup! A new situation for the Polish national team
Japan lost 0: 3 to Canada in the Monday match of the Volleyball World Championships. Thus, the seventh team of the FIVB ranking dropped out of the competition.
After a 0: 3 defeat with Turkey, the volleyballers of the Japan national team stood against the wall in the context of their future in the ongoing World Championships. In the Philippines it was obvious that the Japanese team had problems, but it was difficult to expect that they would take such a large size.
However, as the second group meeting in Japan’s release showed, apparently a formula in this team just exhausted. The Japanese lost 0: 3 again, this time succumbing to Canadians. Effect? Japan, after two matches of the 2025 World Cup, says goodbye to the chances of the event phase of the event in the Philippines.
Interestingly, from the perspective of the Polish national team this is an important result. Why? We are talking about games in group G, i.e. potential rivals of the world’s runners -up at the 1/8 final stage and quarter -finals. The Japanese will certainly not play with Poles, that’s for sure.
And it must be admitted that this is a sensation of giant sizes.
Volleyballers: Japanese fell off the tournament. Sensation in the Philippines!
It became clear that two teams would be promoted from the G group: Turkey and Canada. Who will take first place? This will turn out after the last round of this part of the World Cup, in which both teams will compete in a direct duel for victory. It is important because in the case of Poles to take first place in group B, the team of coach Nikola Grbcia will play with the runner-up of the said Turkish-Canadian set.
When will the next match Poles play? Already today, i.e. Monday (September 15) at 15:30. The rival of Poles will be the Qatarians. It is worth recalling that in the first meeting Poland beat Romania 3: 0. There is also the Netherlands in group B, which is theoretically the most demanding opponent for runners -up in the world. The Poland – the Netherlands match will be the last in this set.
