The Poles booked their ticket to Sofia last weekend as they topped Pool B. Brazil finished second and will have a nervous wait to see whether they will finish as the best second-placed team.
This year the World League has a revised, compact format, running initially from May 18 to July 1, with the finals set to take place in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia from July 4 to 8.
While the World League still features 16 teams, for the first time in the tournament’s history the Intercontinental Round will be played across four weeks with each country hosting all four teams in their respective pool on one weekend each.
