The Korean Volleyball Federation (KOVO) announced on the 12th, “After being held in Toronto, Canada in 2019, the KOVO foreign player tryouts, which were held non-face-to-face for the past three seasons, will be held on May 6-8 (men’s) and May 11-13. The day (women’s) will be held in Turkey, Istanbul.”

Among the 86 men’s and 55 women’s tryout applicants received from February 20th to March 28th, the club evaluated the top 40 players of each gender and put them on the final list. The final 46 men’s and 44 women’s players, including those who applied for tryout among the players, will participate.

Players such as Igor Bogachev, who played for the German national team, and José Masso (Cuba), who are receiving a lot of attention from men’s clubs, will participate. In addition, seven players from the African continent, including Kenya, Tunisia and Uganda, will participate. Among the players who played with us last season, Ikbairi (Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance), Viyena (KB Insurance), Leo (OK Financial Group), Agamez (Woori Card), Thais (Korea Electric Power), and Lincoln (Korean Air) also returned.
