The general manager of the Russian national volleyball team admitted that he was not sure about the participation of foreign teams in the tournament in Russia

The general manager of the Russian men’s volleyball team Sergei Tetyukhin said that at the moment no country has confirmed participation in the international tournament in Russia, noting that it is difficult to hold friendly matches after the World Cup.

Earlier, Tetyukhin told Match TV that Russia intends to organize competitions with the invitation of teams from friendly countries – Belarus, Iran, China, Brazil and others.

– So far there is no 100% guarantee from the teams and exact answers about participation. There is still a World Cup ahead, the decision of the national teams will be delayed. It is still unclear whether they will come or not. Frankly speaking, after the World Cup it is difficult to take your national team somewhere else to play friendly matches. Perhaps there are some commands.

Belarusians, I think, are the most guaranteed team with which you can play, – Tetyukhin is quoted by Match TV.

The Russian team is not allowed to participate in international competitions and will miss the World Cup, which will be held from August 26 to September 11 in Poland and Slovenia.
