Italy

Playing in front of their home fans will no doubt be a huge plus for Italy. The last time Italy won the World Championship was in 2002. A great mix of young players and veterans have paved way for Coach Bonitta’s team to a series of victories.

USA

USA has been playing great volleyball since Day 1 of the tournament. Jordan Larson and Kelly Murphy will no doubt be Team USA’s go to scorers.

Russia

The 2006 and 2010 World Champions were on the edge of not making it to the Final 6 until they played their best match vs Serbia the other day. Gamova is slowly picking up her game after a disappointing performance in the First and Second Round.

Brazil

Brazilian fans are no doubt sick and tired of Brazil winning silver medals at the World Championship. Sheilla and Team want to win the crown badly since it’s the only missing title from their collection which includes 2 Olympic Golds.

China

Coach Lang Ping has done an excellent job with this team since taking over last year. With better passing, China has what it takes to make it to the Final 4.

Dominican Republic

Bethania Dela Cruz has played her best tournament with the support of her amazing and hardworking teammates. The players play their match as if it’s the Final Match. With all the challenges they’ve faced since day 1 of the tournament, this team is THE TEAM to watch out for in the Final 6.
