They are complemented by the challenger teams of Australia, Bulgaria and Canada, plus newcomers Slovenia which won the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Challenger Cup and are replacing Portugal, relegated that same year.<\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s event, the 12 core teams comprise Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey and USA. The challenger teams are Belgium, Dominican Republic and Poland, plus newly promoted Canada, which won the latest FIVB Volleyball Challenger Cup to replace Bulgaria, relegated in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The 2021 VNL is set to kick off on May 11 for the women and May 14 for the men with the single-round-robin preliminaries completed on June 10 for the women and on June 13 for the men. The men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s Finals similarly follow from June 23 to 27, with the latter due to be hosted by China. However, the host city in China has yet to be officially confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the host countries in Asia, China, Japan and Iran will host the men\u2019s single-round-robin preliminaries from Week 1 to Week 4, but no Asian country hosts the Week 5\u2019s matches. The Finals will take place in Italy. In the women\u2019s event, China will play host from Week 1-Week 5 as well as the Finals. Also joining the host country in the preliminaries are Japan, Korea and Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>For the men\u2019s competition, China will host Week 1 from May 14-16 in Jiangmen and Week 2 in Ningbo from May 21-23, with Japan hosting Week 3 in Kyoto from May 28-30.
