Polish players and their head coach Grbić didn’t present themselves in a good way to the audience in their debut in front own crowd in the VNL 2022. After a difficult Pool 6’s match full of twists and turns, the Poles lost to Iran 2-3 and got trampled in the tie-break. The matches between these two foes have a long and emotional history, filled with a lot of tensions on the court. But, the new generations now play for both Poland and Iran and these meetings no longer go beyond just pure sports rivalry.
