Background
The 2015 edition of FIVB World League will be the biggest ever: A record number of 32 national teams are split across eight pools. Nine-time winners and 2014 silver medallists Brazil head Pool A alongside bronze medallists from the last edition Italy, three-time silver medallists Serbia as well as Australia who were promoted from Group 2. Reigning champions USA will begin the defence of their crown in Pool B and will take on 2013 winners Russia, world champions Poland and the ever-improving Iran. Pool C features Bulgaria, Canada, Argentina and Cuba with the latter promoted after their triumph in the Group 3 finals in 2014. Pool D includes France, Japan, Korea and Czech Republic. Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland and Portugal complete Group 2 in Pool E. Pool F feature Montenegro, Turkey, Puerto Rico and Tunisia. Greece return for the first time in a decade in Pool G and will face Mexico, Slovakia and China while Egypt are also back after a five-year absence in Pool H along with Kazakhstan, Venezuela and Spain. The World League featured eight teams in its inaugural year in 1990, 10 in 1991, 12 from 1992-2000 and 2004-05, 16 from 2001-2003 and 2006-2012 and then 18 in the 2013 edition.
