Earlier, the Brazilian "Cruzeiro" was listed among the tournament participants, but crucial matches of the South American club championship will take place from March 12 to 16, and on March 20, the team has a scheduled national championship match, which prevents its participation. The Polish club "Suwałki" refused to participate in the UAE tournament due to the involvement of Russian teams.

The tournament will be held from March 12 to 20 in Dubai, and the head coach of "Dynamo", Konstantin Bryansky, commented on the upcoming participation:

"Participation in the tournament is very important for us. First of all, we want to show that Russian volleyball is alive, we want to show our level of play and to see other teams. This is a big challenge for us. The tournament coincides with the preparation for the playoffs of the Russian championship. Of course, this creates certain difficulties. But I think we will cope with this together."

"If we talk about goals, then at "Dynamo" the goals are always maximum. We want to be first in this tournament. Hopefully, this tournament will be the first step towards the full return of Russian teams and the national team to the international level. We will hope for that." 💪🌍
