Her commitment under the coaching team of Martin Frydnes, assistant coach at the SSC and part of the DVV team under head coach Giulio Bregoli, gives hope for some exciting matches.

Germany's opportunities in the VNL

The German selection currently has seventh place in the VNL ranking with 14 points from eight games.

There she meets strong opponents such as Canada, Thailand, China and the Dominican Republic.
