Turkey Coached by the Italian
Daniele Santarelli, coach of Conegliano, won the Women's Nations League in Macao by defeating Brazil 3-1 (23-25, 25-23, 26-24, 25-21) in the final. Brazil had beaten Italy in a tie-break the previous day. The Brazilians once again missed out on gold, claiming their fifth silver medal since 2019.
The Turkish team had won the VNL in 2023, before relinquishing the title to Italy, and will enter the European Championship as defending champions. The tournament is scheduled from August 21 to September 6, with the semi-finals and final set to take place in Istanbul. The winning nation will earn a spot at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
