    Qualifications set to get underway for World League 2013


    The Dutch team has high hopes for 2013, after winning the CEV European League in July to qualify for World League play

    Lausanne, Switzerland, August 16, 2012 – Qualification for the 2013 FIVB Volleyball World League begins next week with the Netherlands set to clash against the Dominican Republic in Rotterdam on August 24 and 25 and Egypt facing Iran in Cairo on August 31 and September 2.

    The winners of this first round will go on to play a second round of qualification matches. The winner in Cairo will host Japan to take the men's team, while the winner of the Rotterdam matches will welcome Portugal. A precise schedule for the second round is yet to be confirmed.

    Both Iran and Dominican Republic will be aiming to qualify for the World League for the first time in their countries’ histories. In Egypt and the Netherlands they face established teams that will pose a serious challenge to their ambitions.
