The Slovenian women's volleyball team is preparing for the European Championship in August 2026, which will take place in four countries including Istanbul. The team has climbed to 19th place in the world rankings after Argentina's poor performance at the South American Cup, which allowed Slovenia to reclaim the 19th spot. This position could qualify them for the elite Nations League in 2027, though the final decision by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) is expected by mid-August. Slovenia's team advanced through the season with six wins but lost to Sweden in the final of the European League, losing nearly nine crucial points on the FIVB ranking. Meanwhile, Argentina overtook Slovenia for the 19th spot but failed to secure enough points at the South American Cup to maintain their position.
