Pools have just been announced for VNL 2024. As a reminder, the top five unqualified nations in the World Rankings (including an African country, which is pretty much guaranteed to be Kenya as no African nation will be competing in events that’ll add points towards their World Ranking) after the end of the preliminary phase will qualify for Paris. 

Here’s the countries still in contention:

 Italy (338.97 pts)

 China (329.65 pts)

 Japan (305.09 pts)

 Netherlands (287.94 pts)

 Canada (265.66 pts)

 

—

 

 Kenya (162.42 pts)

 

China and Italy seem safe to qualify. For Japan, it would take a disastrous VNL for them to fall behind both Netherlands and Canada, don’t see it happening. IMO it’ll be between us and the Netherlands for the final quota. Kenya has pretty much locked up the African quota.

some of the illustrious exclusions by Pezz...ehm, Mazzanti from last year are back (Orro, Fahr, Egonu, Bosetti, De Gennaro), but not all those I expected

 

I mean, no Ofelia Malinov while Bosio is still there among the setters, no Folie nor Chirichella among the middle blockers

Chirichella was clearly worse at the Novara than Danesi and Bonifacio. The only thing that appealed to her was greater experience. Folie ended her adventure with the national team in 2021 and she probably couldn't be persuaded to come back. Malinov also didn't want to return to the national team, from what I heard. The most important thing is that Fahr on this list- currently the best Italian middle blocker and let her be healthy.

[Faramir 515]

Folie with her physical issues would have been useless anyway in tournaments where you play many games in a short period of time and with a small roster.

I don't follow club volleyball too much, but for what I saw in the Champions League matches of the Vero Volley Milano, Folie should have been taken back to the NT by force...she's been by far the best player and the key to success in CL

 

I know Malinov has personal/mental issues that might let her decide not to comeback, but at least not calling up Bosio after last year should have been a "must"  almost like naming Orro, de Gennaro and Egonu
