Germany
Prior to reunification, East Germany won the women’s Volleyball silver medal at the Moscow 1980 Olympic Games. The East German team were also crowned European champions in 1983 and 1987. Since reunification, the German women’s team have qualified for the Olympic Games three times. A sixth place finish at the Sydney 2000 Games remains the team’s best performance. Germany’s best finish in the FIVB Volleyball World Championship as a united country came in 1994, where they finished in fifth place. They were 11th last time around, in 2018.
Felix Koslowski“European women’s Volleyball has developed strongly in the last few years. I think that every pool is very balanced. We will compete against Russia, without a doubt one of the strongest teams in the world but I think that we can win against every other team in our pool. It is our goal to finish the preliminary round as good as possible to get a great starting position for the knock-out stage.”
