Pools composition edit

The drawing of lots was combined with a seeding of National Federations and performed as follows:

  1. The 4 organizers were seeded in Preliminary pools. Serbia in Pool A, Bulgaria in Pool B, Croatia in Pool C and Romania in Pool D.
  2. The first and second best ranked from the previous edition of the CEV competition were drawn in different Preliminary pools, which meant that Serbia could not be paired with Turkey.
  3. The organizers could select one team to join their pools, as a result, Azerbaijan joined Serbia in Pool A, Poland joined Bulgaria in Pool B, Italy joined Croatia in Pool C and Turkey joined Romania in Pool D.
  4. According to the CEV National Team ranking list (as per 01/01/2020), the 16 remaining teams were seeded by descending order in a number of cups that equals the number of Preliminary pools.
