The host country is placed in each ridiculous group in these U21 and U18 volleyball tournaments. :lol: :lol:

I'm really curious about the treatement of :IRI players, as I read on Wikipedia that Iranian Sunni Muslims, as well as the majority of Bahraini citizens (which are Shia) are forbidden to enter the city that the games take place :sick: Apparently Riffa is designed to be a refugee point for the ruling dictatorship , and only accesible to the "clean" Sunni Arab muslims :sick:

This is disgusting, I can't believe FIVB allowed them to host anything... then again, it's Bahrain we're talking about, so probably some serious $$$ were handed to FIVB in exchange.

I never heard about this , Bahrain's main football stadium is also in Riffa and our players never had such problems. if there was mistreatment we would hear about this. and this is the 3rd time in 2 years for this group of players to play in Bahrain. Bahrain also hosted 2017 Worlds U19 and 2018 Asian U20 !! they never had problems (and actually won both tournaments)

Bahrain was a state of Iran not long time ago, the majority of people there are kind to Iranians (actually most people there have Iranian heritage) but they make it hostile situation sometimes. mostly for football matches (and again we got Bahrain for FIFA WCQ in yesterday draw)
