Olympic Gold Medalists

USA Men's Volleyball vs. Italy FIVB World League Game

On July 10th and 11th the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team, ranked No. 2 in the world by the FIVB, will face Italy at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates.  They will play at 7 pm each night.

Last year, World Sport Chicago hosted the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team in its games against Bulgaria, played a year ago in July. The U.S. went on to win the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.
 
The World League is one of the top elite men's volleyball competitions where the world's best teams are divided into four pools and play for six straight weekends from June 12 to July 18.  The U.S. Men were able to clinch the World League title last year.
 
Winners from each pool proceed to the final round July 22-26 in Belgrade, Serbia, along with the host country and an FIVB wild card pick. The total World League prize purse is more than $20 million, with the winners collecting more than 1 million dollars.

Tickets can be purchased online by going to the Sears Center Website
