Meet our team
The defending world champion, having won the world championship two years in a row.
In this year's Nations League, the team, which was mainly made up of young players, was unable to win a game until the second week, and was in danger of being relegated.
However, when the team's ace Boskovic returned to the court in the third week, they won three matches, including a win over the powerful Turkish team, and avoided relegation.
Just before the start of the World Volleyball Championships, they were ranked 9th in the world, lower than Japan in 5th place, but in terms of their true ability they are on par with or slightly better than Japan.
The team's weapons are Boskovic's high and stable scoring ability and the tall blocking of the middle blockers.

Tijana Boskovic
Opposite
193cm
She was instrumental in Serbia's women's two consecutive World Championship victories and is a fully-fledged opposite who was named MVP at two consecutive World Championships.
He is not only tall and powerful, but also has solid technique and the ability to judge situations, making him one of the best attackers in the world, along with Italy's Egonu and Sweden's Haack. He is undoubtedly the best left-footed attacker in the world.
However, he sustained a leg injury in the recent qualifying round match against Cameroon, and attention is focused on whether he will be able to return in time for the final tournament.
The match will be broadcast on TV as well as streamed on U-NEXT and VBTV.
