Poland’s national volleyball team is set to face the Netherlands, Qatar, and Romania in the group stage of the 2025 Volleyball World Championship. The tournament, held in the Philippines, marks a historic moment as it will feature 32 teams for the first time and be hosted in Southeast Asia. The expanded format is expected to raise the level of competition, with teams vying for a coveted spot in the knockout rounds.
Advancing from the group stage is a top priority for Poland, and head coach Nikola Grbić’s squad is favoured to do so. While the Netherlands may pose a challenge, both Qatar and Romania are seen as less formidable opponents. The top two teams from each group will progress to the round of 16, making Poland’s advancement a near obligation.
The 2025 World Championship will begin on September 12, with the final scheduled for September 28. As anticipation builds, volleyball fans are eager to see how the expanded tournament will unfold, particularly for teams like Poland, who have a history of success on the international stage.
