China women’s volleyball team sits at home! Paris Olympic volleyball qualifying tournament settled in Ningbo

It is reported that the volleyball qualifying tournament of the Paris Olympic Games in China has been decided to be held in Ningbo. It’s good news for China team to participate in the competition in familiar venues. Cai Bin, head coach of China Women’s Volleyball Team, once said that the goal of China Women’s Volleyball Team is to get the Olympic qualification in the first time.

In recent years, Beilun, Ningbo is one of the two major training bases of China women’s volleyball team in China. In the last Olympic cycle, it was in Ningbo that China women’s volleyball team passed the Olympic qualifiers and obtained the Olympic qualification at the first time.

The women’s volleyball qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympic Games will be held in China, Japan and Poland from September 16th to 24th. Twenty-four teams will be divided into three groups, with eight teams in each group playing a single round robin competition. The top two teams will be qualified for the Olympic Games, and six Olympic seats will be produced at this stage. The competition system of men’s volleyball is the same as that of women’s volleyball. The competition will be held in China, Japan and Brazil from September 30th to October 8th.

China women’s volleyball team is in the same group as Serbia, Dominica, Netherlands, Canada, Czech Republic, Mexico and Ukraine, while China men’s volleyball team is in the same group as Poland, Argentina, Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, Belgium and Bulgaria. Eight teams in the group played a single round robin, and the top two teams qualified for the Olympic Games. The Asian Games and the Olympic Qualifying Tournaments are held with a short interval and some overlap (the Asian Games will be held from September 23rd to October 8th), while the distance between Ningbo and Hangzhou is not far, which also gives the head coach more space to arrange his troops.

Cai Bin, head coach of China Women’s Volleyball Team, once said that the qualifying goal of China Women’s Volleyball Team is to get the Olympic qualification in the first time. China men’s volleyball team should also strive to play a good game, improve the world ranking, and strive to advance to the Paris Olympic Games through ranking.
