Heynen announced a 26-man list of Poland that will undergo preparations for the premier edition of the FIVB Nations League, formerly known as the FIVB World League. The Belgian expert also summoned two extra players that will only take part in the training.
“These 26 players are not only the result of planning the composition but also a result of long conversations with players, thanks to which I realized they are very motivated and ready to work. I am looking forward to the first joint training in May,” said Heynen.
The team will hold the first gathering in Warsaw, on May 7, to undergo medical examinations. Two days later, Poland will start practicing at the training camp in Spała. Before taking part in the Nations League (May 25 – July 8), Poland will face Canada in the two friendlies, in Katowice (May 19) and Opole (May 21).
