FIVB Club World Championships ready to start in Doha - Volleyball news
The FIVB Club World Championships are about to commence shortly in the city of Doha, Qatar. The scheduled dates for these championships are October 8 to the October 14. Both men's and women’s teams will be seen participating in the championships.
On the men’s side, a total of eight teams are going to be putting on a show of volleyball skills whereas in the women’s department, six clubs are going to showcase their talent. Both the championships are divided into two pools, A and B.
The men’s Pool A consists of KS Jastrzebski Wegiel, a club from Poland, the Canadian Trinity Western Spartans, Zenit Kazan which has come from Russia and the Irish Paykan. The Pool B clubs include the Italian Trentino Diatec, the Egyptian Al-Ahly Sporting
Club, SESI-SP from Brazil and the host club Al-Arabi.

the Brazilian Osasco Voleibol Clube and the Thai club called Chang.
After an extended break the women’s clubs are competing once again in the club championships under the FIVB as the last time that the women’s championships took place was way back in 1994, with the matches played in Sao Paulo, Brazil. After that, a reintroduction
of the women’s club championships was made last year, something that was appreciated by women players.
The favourite in the men’s championships is the Italian club Trentino Diatec who have two club world championships in their bag. The last victory has made Trentino Diatec the first ever club in the history of club volleyball to have won the title two consecutive
times. On the women’s side, the Turkish club Fenerbahce was able to win the championship for the first time in the last 16 years in 2010.
