High turn out in Wroclaw at World Champonship Trophy Tour stop

Wroclaw, Poland, June 16,
2014 – Poland’s city of Wroclaw was the latest stop on the FIVB Volleyball
Men’s World Championship Poland 2014 Trophy Tour on Sunday.

There was a high turnout of
locals and tourists at the tent housing the trophy, which was situated at the
city’s main square of Plac Golebi.

Members of the public had the opportunity to enjoy a rich programme of music
and entertainment and to take part in competitions where prizes included
tickets to FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship Poland 2014 matches hosted in
Wroclaw and host city themed souvenirs.

At a meeting attended by
the media and volleyball fans, the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship
Poland 2014 was promoted by Piotr Mazur, Director of Wroclaw’s Sport, Tourism
and Recreation Bureau and by Maciej Jarosz, a decorated player, coach and 1980
Olympian, who is also Wroclaw’s World Championship Ambassador.

In the first round of the Championship,
Wroclaw will host Argentina, Australia, Cameroon, Poland, Serbia and Venezuela
in Pool A when matches take place at the Centennial Hall – a one-of-a-kind historical
building. Wroclaw will also host the two second-best teams from Pool B and four best teams from Pool C when
the tournament moves into the second round of action.

The next opportunity to see
the World Championship trophy will be on June 20, when the Trophy Tour stops in
Krakow, right next to the city’s newly built Arena.

Volleyball fans can also follow the Trophy Tour online and on Twitter @FIVBMensWCH #FIVBTrophy.
