Two days are left until the start of the Men’s World League European Final Qualification Tournament (Debrecen, January 8-10).

All eight participants will come to Debrecen today. Each of the teams is allowed to register 15 players for the tournament. A day before the first round, a head coach will name a 13-players squad for the last three matches of the qualifications. Two players are reserves. They can be joined the team if someone of the 13 has a positive coronavirus test.

In the past few days, six head coaches announced the names of the players who are coming to Debrecen in the past few days. Montenegro coach Vladimir Gojkovic has determined the squad today afternoon. The roster of Serbia will be announced soon.

Hungary

Hungary is coming with nine players who won the European gold in Budapest 12 months ago. Denes Varga, Marton Vamos, Gergo Zalanki, and Balazs Harai are missing comparing to the team that played at the Europeans. As we already mentioned, Varga and Vamos miss the action of the national team in January. Zalanki hasn’t fully recovered from an injury, as well as Varga and Vamos. Balazs Harai was on the preparations, but he could not take part in any training. Two youngers born in 2001 are on the roster for the first time – Akos Konarik and Vendel Vigvari.
