The annual men’s volleyball competition, the FIVB Volleyball Men’s Nations League will start from June 6 to July 23, 2023. The finals will be held in Gdansk, Poland’s Ergo Arena. Australia was replaced in this edition by Cuba’s rookies due to the outcomes of the 2022 Challenger Cup and the Nations League. There could only be 16 teams competing. Ten of them qualified as core teams exempt from relegation by meeting the requirements. The top six teams were selected as challenger teams that could be eliminated from the competition.
