Volleyball Nations League
VNL
The Volleyball Nations League (VNL) is an annual international volleyball competition organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) that brings together many of the world's top national teams in both men's and women's volleyball. Established in 2018, the VNL replaced the former FIVB World League and FIVB World Grand Prix tournaments as part of the FIVB's effort to modernize and expand the sport's global appeal. The competition features a preliminary round played across multiple host cities followed by a final round to determine the champion. Since its inception, the VNL has become one of the most prestigious events in international volleyball, providing elite competition, global media exposure, and valuable preparation for major championships such as the Olympic Games and World Championships.
