calm down BLUEREDWHITE! u23 is a ridiculous tournament! If a player has something to show, he shows that before age 23 and he can reach to senior team before age 23. So the u23 players of each country are losers that couldn’t reach to senior team.Volleyball futures of each country are the players of u19. Don’t talk about naturalized players while Russia use Ukrainian players like Museresky!

agree with you @M236 , Atanasevic(Best Opposite Spiker) , Uros Kovacevic(Best Outside Spiker) ,Lucarelli ( MVP) of 2013 edition of U23 WCH are all loser players , 😉 , Russia has powerful teams in all age categories U19 , U21 and U23

Some of the best countries in volleyball don’t participate in u23 tournament with the maximum power. some of the best players of volleyball powers are under 23 and they are used in senior team. For example Mateusz Bieniek in Poland, Micah Christenson, Taylor Sander, Aaron Russell in USA, Ebadi pour in Iran and …
For showing how low level is u23 tournament, just imagine Turkey as finalist of u23! They are nothing in men volleyball! So you we should say good future for Turkey volleyball? I don’t think so.

Well sounds your information is not enough , Ebadipour , Mirzajanpour, Faezi who are now playing for Iran senior team , were playing for U23 team in the previous edition of WCH U23 in 2013 , Poland did not qualify for this competition because of their low ranking In Junior level , same about USA , USA teams in Youth and Junior levels are not that powerful , I have to remind you for the 100th times , Musereskiy is Russian , he was born in Soviet Union, at that time there was not country named Ukraine , so Musereskiy could even play for Azerbaijan for example , but other cases like Junatorena , he played for another national team, Cuba ,the team which is still participating in all competitions but he changed nationality and now playing for Italy , these cases are way different . You are now disrespecting Turkish Volleyball how do you know they will not progress in upcoming years just like Iran ?

I mean for example if Iran used u23 players that are now playing in senior team like Ebadipour, Faezi and Manavi Nezhad, they could be champions of 2015 tournament. I say when u23 player is in high level, he usually plays for senior team not u23 team. A player like Lucarelli when he was playing in u23 tournament of 2013, he was 21 years old and he could participate in u21 tournament and now he is 23 and playing in senior team. I say u19 and u21 tournaments are useful but u23 isn’t! And about Turkey, I don’t wanna disrespect their volleyball but it was obvious that they are using players older than 23.

Yeah of course in comparison with U19 & U21 tournaments i do agree with you U23 is good for soccer since only U23 team can play in Olympics , I wonder If in the future FIVB consider playing Olympic games with U23 teams but it’s hard to predict that volleyball will be as popular as soccer at least in next 30 years, If Turkey is really using players who are older then FIVB should do something about that

THEY ARE NOT OLDER. ITS THE SAME TEAM TOOK PLACE IN U19 İN ANKARA TWO YEARS AGO. MOST OF THİS GENERATİON ALSO COMPETES IN A TEAM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. YOU CAN CHECK FROM TURKISH FED. TO CEV. AGAIN MOST OF THEM ARE IN THE SQUADS OF TEAMS THAT FIGTH IN EUROPEAN CUP
