Dinamo
As International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) published on their website, Russian Dinamo Moscow got the last wild card for the tournament that gathers the best Women’s volleyball clubs in the world.
Thus, despite the fact they were 2017 CEV Champions League silver medalists and that their national federation was even ready to shorten playoff finals because of their participation in the Club World Championship, Imoco will not take part in Kobe, Japan, May 8-14.
Dinamo Moscow are reigning Russian Superliga title holders, currently competing in the national playoff finals, finishing recent Final Four of the Champions League in Treviso, Italy, as last placed.

It is all about entrance ‘fees’: because Moscow has more money than Conegliano and the last couldn’t or didn’t want to pay those 100.000 US $, Moscow took over. If this is the right way to distribute the (too?) many (4) wildcards, everybody should decide on his own.
