Azerbaijan, Baku / corr Trend Z.Safarova / The Azerbaijani National Woman Volleyball Team lost its chance to enter the final of the World Grand Prix.

Losing the European Grand Prix games to the Turkish, Italian, and Serbian teams in Ankara, the Azerbaijan national team has already been beat out for one of the three places in the decisive round of the competition. The team's upcoming matches with the national teams of Germany, Russia, and Bulgaria are therefore superfluous.

The Azerbaijani National team was playing without several of its players, including Ksenya Kovolenko and Oksana Mamadyarova, who are both on maternity leave, as well as Elena Shabovta, who could not help her teammates due to a knee injury.

The Grand Prix is considered to be a pre-cursor training for the European Championships which will be held in Belgium and Luxemburg.
