The 2025 World Cup opened with a flurry of victories for the Verona players, who will be representing their national teams in the tournament that began a few days ago in the Philippines.

Christenson got things started, masterminding the United States in their opening match against Colombia, which they defeated 3-0. Coach Soli’s Slovenia enjoyed a similar result, starting strong, defeating Chile with ease. Trailing after the first set, Brazil quickly responded against China, defeating them 3-1. Darlan entered the game during the match, scoring three points. Finally, Italy struggled little in their match against Algeria, which ended 3-0, thanks in part to Sani’s late serve that put the opposing defense in a difficult position.
