The FIVB announced that Kemerovo and Yaroslavl had become the last 2 host cities of the 2022 Men’s World Volleyball Championship in Russia.
Kemerovo is home to the current champions of the Russian Superliga, Kuzbass, who give several important players to the national team like Kobzar, Poletaev or Podlesnykh. On the other hand, the team that competes in Yaroslavl – Yaroslavich – has a strong Volleyball tradition as 4 Olympic champions from London 2012 – Mikhailov, Grankin, Berezhko and Sokolov – were raised in its youth team.
Kemerovo and Yaroslavl joined the other 8 cities in which the World Championship (August 26 – September 11, 2022) will be played. Russia will host the first World Champs as an independent country (the Soviet Union organized tournaments in 1952 and 1962).
