The official page of the 2025 Men's Volleyball World Championship posed an unusual question to fans. We bring it to the Bulgarian public as well – which national team player would you choose as a neighbor on a long flight to Manila?

While the world counts down the days until the start ofthe 2025 Volleyball World Championship in the Philippines(September 12 –28), the organizers decided to add a touch of playfulness to the fan zone. On Facebook, they asked:"You're on an 18-hour flight. Which seat on the plane do you choose?"

A window seat for some peace, a middle seat for more conversations, or the emergency exit row for comfort? The question sounds humorous at first glance, but it provoked dozens of comments and smiles.
