The 24th Women's Volleyball World League came to an end. In the final, Japan suffered a double defeat, not only losing the first championship in history, but also dropping themselves back to second place in Asia. Against a strong Italy side, Japan smashed the ball against the wall, and although they tried their best to pull one back in the third game, they still lost due to a lack of hard power.

According to technical statistics, the Japanese team has a clear disadvantage in smashing the ball and blocking the net, with 52-66 smashes, 2-12 blocks, 2-1 serves and 23-17 points for the opponent's errors. In terms of individual scoring, Egnu scored 27 points, Sheila 15 points, De Grady 12 points, Japan captain Sarina Koga 17 points, Inoue Arisa 11 points.

The Japanese women's volleyball team made history after beating Brazil in the semifinals, and it was the first time in the team's history that the team finished on the podium, but failed to go further to win the championship because of the final loss. Although Japan lost their first championship in history, the silver medal in the World League was their first podium at a major FIVB event in 12 years.

After losing 1-3, the Japanese women's volleyball team was deducted 4.69 points, and the world ranking dropped from sixth to seventh, returning to the second place in Asia. When they defeated Brazil, the world ranking surpassed the Chinese women's volleyball team by as much as 1 point, and after the loss, they were 3 points behind the Chinese women's volleyball team. The Japanese team now has 338.35 points, and the Chinese women's volleyball team now has 341.89 points. The Japanese team is happy to mention the 24-hour Asian first experience card, the Chinese women's volleyball team is a soldier without a fight, and Italy will remain the world's first until the Paris Olympics.

In the best team of this World League, Japan has two players shortlisted, namely the best main attacker Sarina Koga and the best libero Manami Kojima. The selection of the two can be said to be well deserved, Koga has taken on a lot of offensive tasks for the team, and has repeatedly scored with changes in technique and line, and more importantly, Koga is the only player in the Japanese team with the ability to break through strongly.

The return of Manami Kojima has brought the strength of the back row of the Japanese women's volleyball team to a higher level, not only with a large passing area, but also with large defensive ability and range. In addition, Manami Kojima also acts as an assistant coach, explaining tactics to the players on the field whenever there is a timeout. The Japanese women's volleyball team took the No. 5 jersey when they took the award group photo, and the No. 5 was the 33-year-old libero Yamagishi あか Quan!

Main attack: Sarina Koga (Japan), Serra (Italy)

Subs: Korneluk (Poland), Farr (Italy)

Free Person: Kodami Kodami (Japan)
