About the host
city
With the 2011 FIVB Volleyball World League
set to be hosted at the Gdansk and Sopot Ergo Arena, both
cities will welcome some of the top players from around the
world. In fact, the center line on the volleyball court where
the World League will reach its climax is the exact border of
the two Polish towns.
Gdansk sits on the
northern coast of Poland on the edge of the Baltic Sea and is
the country's fourth largest city. Situated on the mouth of the
Motlawa River it has a population of 455,830. A thriving
shipping port, Gdansk is also one of Poland's top tourist
destinations.
The seaside town of Sopot has
a population of 40,000 and along with Gdansk and neighbouring
Gdynia it completes the metropolitan area known as Trojmiasto
(Tri-City). A major tourist destination and well-known for its
health-spas, it is also home to Europe's longest wooden pier
which stretches to 515.5 meters.
