This is an incredible opportunity for a global audience to begin a journey with their favorite team and there’s no better place to start than Arlington, Texas!”– Matt Wilson, Senior Vice President of Sports & Events; Executive Director, Arlington Sports Commission.
The U.S. Women’s National Team took the Volleyball Nations League by storm when the competition was launched in 2018. After winning gold in Nanjing, China, at the Finals of the first edition, Coach Karch Kiraly’s team also claimed victory at the next two tournaments in 2019 and 2021. That amazing winning streak was interrupted in 2022, when USA lost to Serbia in the quarterfinals. In 2023 at College Park in Arlington, the U.S. Women battled to make it to the medal round where they lost to Poland in the bronze medal match. The reigning Olympic champions are sure to be among the favorites for 2024.
Volleyball World will provide fans, athletes, partners, and other sport afficionados with the ultimate volleyball experience. It will be memorable for all attendees whether new to the sport or a volleyball pro.
