Found some YouTube channels that stream Sultan (Turkish) League volleyball for free, thought I would share

CEV Champions League Volleyball Streaming: https://youtube.com/@CEVolleyball?si=1vzDf3kGz6gwA-Sq

 

Unfortunately, still can’t find any links for Sesc Rj Flamengo, Vero Volley Monza or ZASKA 

It looks like this channel will broadcast one free Brazilian Superliga game per round.

I just couldn't find a schedule of which games will be broadcast this season.

formerly from  (despite the clear Polish heritage) Kamil Rychlicki might start playing for  in the next international competitions (he got the  passport already 11 months ago and he hasn't played NT international volleyball for years)

 

currently he's one of the best "opposite hitters" in the  Superlega for Trento (the same team of Micheletto, Lavia and Sbertoli)

well I didn't watch a lot from this season (maybe he improved a lot?!) but I watched this guy for so many years and to me he is the worst player ever! I always thought his agent is probably the biggest conman in the world, selling him to big clubs over and over.

I don't follow club volleyball, so I just can't say anything...

 

looking at the individual stats, he's doing fine this season...maybe he's found the best environment for him to perform in Trento 

 

however, he would be just the replacement for Romanò and Bovolenta, I guess...a sort of ensurance in case of injury of our primary choices (as it is now, with Romanò out a few weeks for an abdominal injury...luckily, there's no NT volleyball right now)

 

even if they wrote that he might even be ahead of Bovolenta, who's our next big thing, but he's still very young and playing in the not so demanding 2nd tier league this year (they also wrote that Rychlicki's a good teammate and a good presence in the locker room, which is something De Giorgi appreciates a lot)

 

we'll see what happens next Summer

So the 2025 men's and women's world championships will have 32 teams: the defending champions, the top 3 teams from the 5 continental championships held in 2023, and the 15 next teams in the world rankings.

 

As I've mentioned many times, I think that world rankings should be used for seeding, never for qualifying.

 

But the big problem is that most teams won't play a single match next year, so they can't climb up...
