Brazil x Argentina in the VNL: see where to watch and lineups for the classic
The Brazilian men’s team is about to face its great rival, Argentina, in a crucial clash in the final round of the first week of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL). The match will be held this Sunday, June 14th, at 6pm, at Ginásio Nilson Nelson, located in Brasília.
The VNL tournament, in its current configuration, succeeded the historic World League, a competition that took place between 1993 and 2017. In the old version, the Brazilian team stood out as the greatest champion, accumulating a total of nine titles, establishing a legacy of dominance in world sport.
In the current Nations League competition, the biggest winners include Russia, who triumphed in 2018 and 2019, France, champions in 2022 and 2024, and Poland, who lifted the cup in 2023 and 2025. Each of these nations has two titles won in the modern era of volleyball.
Among the players called up for the current edition of the VNL, one of the most notable returns is that of winger Douglas Souza, who returns to wearing the Brazilian national team’s shirt after more than four years. Other athletes who have been constantly called up are opposite Darlan and libero Maique, important pieces in the team’s strategy.
