Table scenario and host nation vacancy
Although eighth place is, theoretically, the last spot for the knockout stage, the situation is a little more complex. China, as the host country of the final stage of the VNL, is guaranteed participation, automatically occupying this position regardless of its performance in the regular stage. In this way, the real dispute for classification extends, in practice, up to the seventh place among the other teams. The city of Ningbo will host the decisive event, with the finals scheduled between July 29th and August 2nd.

With Bernardinho’s experience at the helm, the expectation is that the team will enter the court focused on reversing the situation and securing its place among the best in the tournament.
