The Russian Volleyball Federation will almost certainly invite Volero Zrich, Azerrail Baku and Rabita/Telecom Baku to join the Russian Championship in the 2017/18 season. According to Vladislav Fadeev (the coordinator of women’s volleyball national team of Russia), the Russian Volleyball Federation is only waiting for CEV to arrange the schedule of European competitions for the next season, so that they could do the same with the Russian Championship.
After they make the league schedule, the Russian Volleyball Federation will send the official proposals to foreign clubs.
What is also interesting is that the foreign-player limit will remain the same, however it will be applied only on Russian teams. The foreign teams will be able to register as many non-Russian players as they want.
