The first round of the Paris 2024 men’s volleyball tournament took shape on Wednesday, exactly one month before the Opening Ceremony, when pools for the Olympic event were drawn ahead of the start of the 2024 Volleyball Nations League Finals, in Łódź, Poland.
The 12 qualified national teams were distributed into three pools of four, with hosts France topping Pool A, FIVB World Ranking leaders Poland spearheading Pool B and second-placed Japan appearing as the first team in Pool C.
