The Korea Volleyball Association is scheduled to announce the men's and women's national team call-up list early next month.
According to the Korea Volleyball Association (Chairman Oh Han-nam) on the 18th, the association recently held a men's and women's performance improvement committee to discuss ways to operate the national team, open recruitment of trainers, and player selection plans.
The committee held a meeting at the association's office the previous day and reviewed the list of 30 candidates proposed by Fernando Morales, the coach of the Korean women's team. The committee plans to confirm the list of 16 finalists through an additional meeting in early April.
Park Mi-hee, chairman of the performance improvement committee, said, "The coach and the members went through the process of finding a point of contact," adding, "We are narrowing differences on how to organize the 16 people who will be called up from the list of 30 candidates." He also added, "As this year's international competition is important, we plan to not include only too young players in the national team, but give the overall weight."
The women's national team will play the first week of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from May 29, and participate in the 2025 Korea International Women's Competition in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, from August 12.
Morales, who entered the country on the 16th, is touring the V League stadium to check on the players. Hyundai Engineering & Construction's middle blocker Lee Da-hyun and Korea Expressway Corporation's rookie setter Kim Dae-eun are mentioned as candidates for the convocation.
Coach Lee Na-ye Ramirez of the Korean men's national team is also monitoring the players after arriving in Korea on Wednesday. "We want to see who will be able to play at the international level. It was good to see that the players are complementing well overall. We want to invite more players to the national team." 카지노
