Longlist published for January

The new head coach of the Netherlands, Italian Giovanni Caprara, has announced the 24 names he is considering for the tournament to take place in the Netherlands from January 7 to 12. A noteworthy name on the list is that of Floortje Meijners, who last played for the Dutch team a way back in 2007, when they won the FIVB World Grand Prix. The 32-year-old outside hitter of Saugella MONZA says she is honoured to be back in the national team.

“I was not able to play for the national team because of personal reasons. I followed the team from afar and was happy to see the progress made over that period. That’s why I’m especially proud to be part of that team again.”
