Red Dragons begin preparations without official matches
The Belgian men’s national volleyball team, the Red Dragons, has announced a new longlist for the training camp scheduled in May and June. This group consists of young, talented players who will have the chance to grow and develop within the national program.

No matches, but intense development
This selection will not play any official international matches. The focus is entirely on training and development, with an eye on the future. The camp serves as an evaluation moment for the players’ technical and tactical progress within the Red Dragons' system.

Not the squad for Euro Qualifiers or World Championship
Important note: this list is not the squad for the Euro Qualifiers or the World Championship later this summer. However, the players do have a chance to earn their spot through this phase.

Head coach Emanuele Zanini underlined the importance of this preparation phase:
“The goal for these players is to develop their technical and tactical abilities and capabilities linked with the RD system of play. The work all of them is a big chance to achieve a potential spot in the Red Dragons program for the Euro Qualifiers and the World Championship.”
