Argentina volleyball team vs. Slovenia: date, time and live TV of the VNL 2024 match

The Volleyball Team is preparing for a new challenge: facing Slovenia in the third weekend of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) 2024. This meeting will be crucial for Argentina’s aspirations to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Therefore, in this article we tell you everything you need to know in the run-up: when it is played, how the albiceleste arrives and how its classification for the Olympic event is.

When do Argentina and Slovenia play for VNL 2024?

The match that will begin Week 3 of the Volleyball Nations League 2024 between Argentina and Slovenia will be played on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. (Argentine time) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN and will be available for streaming on Star+.

Argentina comes into this match with a record of four wins and four losses in the VNL, occupying ninth position in the table. After an irregular performance in the second week, which culminated in a tight defeat against France in Ottawa, the Argentine team will seek to recover ground and ensure its qualification for the playoffs of the tournament. To face Slovenia, the national team has key players such as Facundo Conte and Agustín Loser, who have proven their worth in crucial moments. Thus, Marcelo Mendez will seek to strengthen the defense and take advantage of attacking opportunities to overcome an experienced rival like Slovenia.

Qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is also at stake. Argentina is eighth in the FIVB ranking, with 302.36 points, which would allow it to qualify directly. However, the competition is tight, with Cuba and Serbia lurking in tenth and twelfth place respectively. Each match in the VNL becomes a crucial opportunity to secure your place in the Olympic event. In the third and final week of competition, in addition to the match against the locals, the albiceleste will have to face Turkey, Poland and Bulgaria, with the obligation to ensure good results to definitively seal their passage.
