Guillermo Molina and Gonzalo Echenique are now officially Italian citizens...

it took quite a few years for them to get there, but now they got it...

and of course now they could well be named for our National Team (and it would be a great acquisition if they opt to play for us, especially Echenique is the kind of player we miss so much at the top level of play)...

 

p.s. it's not sure that they will play for Italy...I'm pretty sure they've been asked to, but they haven't said anything about it yet...

Italian coach Mauro Maugeri has died, aged 58. He took over as coach of the Dutch women's team after they won Olympic gold in 2008 and well, that didn't exactly work out very good.

Where I can find results of Women's European Champions League 2017/2018?

 

Why do only 4 Teams play in World League Euro Qualification?

Probably only 4 teams wanted to participate The World league is open to all teams,and there participated more teams in previous World League editions, so it is the only explanation I think

I think this is also due to the fact that LEN created another similar tournament (Europa Cup http://www2.len.eu/?p=10647), so other teams decided to focus on this Europa Cup.
