Women’s VNL: Brazil x France in the Nations League; find out where to watch and time details
The Brazilian women’s volleyball team returns to the courts this Wednesday (17) for the second stage of the Nations League. After an impeccable first week with four wins in four games played in Brasília, the Brazilian team will face France at 10 am (Brasília time). This clash marks the opening of the phase based in Türkiye, broadcast live on sportv 2 and fully monitored by ge.globo. Maintaining this pace is crucial to consolidate the lead and build confidence for the next stages of the tournament.
For the debut clash, the Brazilian team will have important absences. Coach José Roberto Guimarães, for example, will not be in charge of the team due to suspension. The penalty was applied after a gesture directed at the Bulgaria coach during the VNL first phase games.
In addition to the technical command, striker Gabi, team captain, remains away at this early stage of the competition. The decision to preserve it was taken due to the intense wear and tear of the season he had with the Conegliano club and also due to discomfort in the lower back, resulting from an injury suffered in March. Despite her absence, the athlete is present in the delegation that traveled to Türkiye and could be included in the next games.
After facing France, Brazil will still have a series of challenging matches ahead. The team plays against Belgium on Thursday (18), China on Saturday (20) and Germany on Sunday (21). The goal is to continue the perfect performance in the Women’s VNL, where they have already accumulated 100% success and a total of 11 points. In the first week, held in Brasília, Brazil beat the Netherlands and the Dominican Republic by 3 sets to 1, Bulgaria 3-0, and Italy in a battle of 3 sets to 2.
