The third round of the European qualification process for the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championship will be taking place from August 22 to 27 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The winners and runners-up of the single round robin tournament will earn tickets to Japan.
Leverage upon the home-court advantage, the Dutch team will attempt after failing to qualify for next year’s World Championship in early June when they lost to Azerbaijan in the second round of the European qualification process in Baku.
Teams also participating in this ultimate round robin competition include Greece, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Bulgaria and Slovenia.
Silver medallists at the 2015 EuroVolley, the Netherlands, who finished fourth at last year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, are arguably favourites to claim one of the top spots in this third round qualifier, but there is much to look forward to when these six elite teams take to the court in Rotterdam.
