Sweden Ladies have advanced in volleyball and the world ranking a lot the latest years, from being around 50 on the list now above 20. After winning the Golden League tournament they have qualified for the Challenger Cup. Eight teams participate. On Thursday (later today at 12:35-14:30 Swe time) they'll meet Belgium. It's a tough opponent, high ranked. But Sweden beat them last time in the Golden League tournament.
However, our world star Isabelle Haak has refused to play due to some needed rest, she's exhausted after a long season.
It was difficult beating Belgium the last time and without her our chances are smaller.
As I wrote, eight teams. However, if we beat Belgium we will play the semi final for the medals in this tournament straight away, that's how the game list looks like. In the semi Sweden will face either Kenya or Puerto Rico. If we lose we play a bronze game. If we win it's time for the final.
And if Sweden win this tournament (or are playing for any of the medals, I suppose) we will get a ticket for the Nation League tournament.
If we succeed there Sweden might play in the World Championship - for the first time ever.
So this game that starts in about 12 hours will decide what happens in another year.
