Zielona Góra, Poland, July 18, 2012 - An
important pre-Olympic warm-up tournament, the Hubert Wagner Memorial, takes
place in Zielona Góra, western Poland this weekend.
As well as the hosts themselves it features
Argentina, one of their Pool A opponents in London; Germany, who will be in
Pool B for the Olympics; and Iran, who narrowly failed to qualify.
Poland, recent winners of the 2012 FIVB
World League, can be expected to field a strong lineup while Argentina will
include star names such as captain Rodrigo Quiroga as well as fellow wing
spiker Facundo Conte.
It is the 10th edition of a tournament
dedicated to the memory of the coach who led Poland to world and Olympic glory
in 1974 and 1976 respectively. It begins on Friday when Poland take on Iran,
and Germany meet Argentina. On Saturday, the hosts will face Germany before
their showdown with Argentina on Sunday.
