FIVB Volleyball Womens World Cup Preview

Turkey will head into the 2027 tournament after winning not only their first medal in 2023, but that happened to be a gold medal too as they became only the sixth country to win this tournament.

They will be looking to back up their win with another, a feat that has been achieved six times in the past, twice by China, three times by Cuba and once by Italy.

Their biggest threat in 2027 could well come from Brazil who are yet to win gold but they have been constant finishing in the top four in six of the last eight tournaments including four silver medals.

They won silver in 1995, 2003, 2007 & 2023 and picked up bronze in 1999, could they be a team to claim their first-ever gold medal?
