Poles stay in Varna
Our volleyball players stay in Varna, where teams from Serbia, France and Argentina come instead. Bulgaria, in turn, goes to Sofia, where it will face the representations of the USA, Iran and Canada. Taking into account the disposition of our volleyball players - they can go really far in this year's World Championships. They will be able to confirm their class in the near future, when they confront the Serbs and the French. The Argentinians shouldn't be too much of a threat.
