Lube
According to the regulations of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), Lube will take place in the 2017 FIVB Club World Championship in Poland.
So far, four participants secured spot at the annual tournament that gathers best teams from all over planet: Polish Zaksa Kędzierzyn-Koźle (as the champions of the host country), Iranian Sarmayeh Bank (2017 Asian champions), Russian Zenit Kazan (2017 CEV Champions League winners) and Brazilian Sada Cruzeiro (2017 South American champions).
Three more spots are still vacant and they will be filled in this way: one spot will go to the league winners of the countries ranked 1st and 2nd from not yet qualified countries on the Men’s FIVB Senior National Team World Ranking List, while two remained spots will be determined by wild cards.
According to this, Lube secured their place in the tournament since Italy is fourth in the Ranking List, but 1st from the countries who have not yet qualified their representatives (No.1 Brazil has given Cruzeiro, No.2 Poland has given Zaksa, while No.3 USA cannot give their representatives since it does not have professional league).
