World League, European qualifications: Serbia and Croatia face off again

September 28, 2019

World League Super Final 2019, Belgrade

The men’s European qualifications for the World League Super Final will start on 12 November. Twelve teams will take part and they were drawn into four groups.

Serbia, the Olympic champion and 2019 World League winner, and Croatia, the runner-up in both competitions and the bronze medalists at this year World Championships, were drawn into the same group, along with the Netherlands

Men’s World League, European Qualifications

Groups

A group: Greece, Italy, Georgia.
B group: Hungary, Russia, France.
C group: Netherlands, Serbia, Croatia.
D group: Montenegro, Ukraine, Spain.

The competition system is different than in previous years, because of a packed schedule in the Olympic year. The series of competitions for national teams will begin already in January, with the European Championships in Budapest, while the Olympic qualification tournament will be played in March.

The group stage of the European World League preliminaries consists of just three competition days. Each team will play one home and one away game.

After that, the group winners and the 2nd-placed teams will advance to the quarterfinals. The best 4 European teams will qualify for the Super Final, along with top 4 teams at the Intercontinental tournament, which will be held in the USA (28 April – 3 May).

If a host country is a European country, then that team will automatically be a participant of the Super Final, regardless of its placement in the qualifications. On the other side, if a non-European country is a host of the Super Final and that team doesn’t reach at least the 4th place at the Intercontinental Cup, only three European teams will qualify for the Super Final, that will be held in June (23-28 June)

European countries hosted the previous two Super Final tournaments (Budapest in 2018 and Belgrade in 2019).
