if they still use the serpentine system, the groups will end up like these (no Russia included):

 

    A           B          C
:CHN   :JPN   :POL
:BRA   :ITA   :SRB
:USA   :TUR   :DOM
:GER   :NED   :BEL
:CAN   :THA   :BUL
:COL   :CZE   :PUR
:MEX   :ARG   :KOR
:PER   :SLO   :UKR

 

All the teams that have been a nightmare for us in recent years.

OK, now we have more news...

 

:RUS are OUT

 

the draw for the OQTs will be Tomorrow, March 17th at 1 p.m. CET (Live for Free on FIVB Youtube Channel)

 

the 24 teams will be divided into 8 pots with 3 teams each, according to the World Ranking.

 

however, the top 3 seeds will be the organizers of the 3 tournaments (also ranked according to the WR).

 

therefore, we will have a draw following this path:

 

seeded teams: the 3 hosts, :CHN (pool A), :JPN (pool B), :POL (pool C)

 

then, we will have 7 pots with 3 teams each one (always according to the WR): 1 team from each pot will be drawn in each pool to build the 3 8-team tournaments (the top 2 of each tournament will qualify to Paris 2024).

 

Pot #1: :SRB:BRA:ITA

Pot #2: :USA:TUR:DOM

Pot #3: :BEL:NED:GER 

Pot #4: :CAN:THA:BUL 

Pot #5: :PUR:CZE:COL

Pot #6: :MEX:ARG:KOR 

Pot #7: :UKR:SLO:PER

Not the worst draw possible for the Netherlands. We played a close game versus China at the world championship, if we can upset them this time, there is hope. Chances are still super slim though.

 

In the other two pools it'll be interesting whether there's any home advantage. Otherwise I'd say Brazil, Turkey, Italy and the USA are the favorites.
