CroatiaThe Croatian women's under-17 volleyball team has traveled to Chile for the World Championship in their age group. After a month of preparation at a sports center near Maribor, the team departed from Zagreb early Monday morning, traveling via Istanbul to Santiago, a journey lasting 26 hours. The squad consists of 14 players, including Karla Gulin, Tara Radojičić, and other selected athletes, after three players had to remain in Croatia due to overtraining. Coach Svetlana Ceca Ilić emphasized that the team is well-prepared, having analyzed many matches of their competitors and is highly motivated. Their first match against Brazil is scheduled for Thursday night, followed by games against Japan and Spain. The tournament is intense, with the top four teams in each group advancing to the medal rounds. Ilić noted that while the competition comes from strong volleyball nations, this is the first international event for all participants, making predictions difficult.
