Wikipedia - FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League
The FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League is an international volleyball competition contested by the senior women's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The first tournament took place between May and July 2018, with the final taking place in Nanjing, China. United States won the inaugural edition, defeating Turkey in the final.
In July 2018, the FIVB announced that China would host the next three editions of the women's Volleyball Nations League Finals, from 2019–2021, but on March 13, 2020, the FIVB decided to postpone the Nations League until after the 2020 Summer Olympics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the FIVB canceled the 2020 edition and confirmed Italy as the host of the final stage of the 2021 VNL.
In February 2024, the FIVB announced that the competition will be expand to 18 teams from the 2025 edition onwards while the core and challenge teams' statuses will be abolished with the reformed format.
The creation of the tournament was announced in October 2017 (alongside with the announcement of the Challenger Cup) as a joint project between the FIVB, the IMG and 21 national federations. The Nations League replaced the World Grand Prix, a former annual women's international event that ran between 1993 and 2017.
A corresponding tournament for men's national teams is the FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League.
History
Adoption
In June 2017, Argentinian website Voley Plus reported that the FIVB would drastically change the format for both the 2018 World League and World Grand Prix. According to the reports, starting from 2018, the World League and the World Grand Prix would have only one Group (no more Groups 1, 2 and 3) of 16 national teams.
In October 2017, the FIVB announced, via a press release, the creation of the men's and women's Volleyball Nations League, confirming the tournaments as a replacement for the World League and World Grand Prix.
FIVB Nations League er en internasjonal volleyballturnering for kvinner som organiseres av Det internasjonale volleyballforbundet (FIVB). Turneringen ble etablert i 2018 som erstatning for FIVB World Grand Prix.
Nations League består av 16 lag som er delt inn i to divisjoner. De tolv beste lagene fra verdensrankingen spiller i VNL 1, mens de fire gjenværende lagene spiller i VNL 2.
Lagene spiller i en serie med kamper i en innledende runde, der de tre beste lagene fra hver pulje går videre til sluttspillet. Vinneren av sluttspillet kåres til mester i FIVB Nations League.
Turneringen gir mulighet for lag å spille mot hverandre i et kompetitivt miljø og tjene poeng til verdensrankingen. Nations League er også en kvalifiseringsturnering for andre internasjonale volleyballturneringer, som VM og OL.
I 2023 vil FIVB Nations League for kvinner bli arrangert fra 30. mai til 16. juli. Turneringen vil finne sted i flere byer rundt om i verden, inkludert Ankara, Calgary, Quezon City og Rotterdam.
