Six teams will compete in a round-robin format that promises three days of high-level action, where every match could play a decisive role in the battle for the podium. This year’s participating nations are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine.

As always, all eyes will be on Bosnia and Herzegovina, the undisputed powerhouse of the competition. The reigning champions have won every Golden Nations League title since the tournament began in 2021, completing an extraordinary run of five consecutive gold medals.

Among the biggest challengers will once again be Germany. After taking bronze in 2021 and silver medals in 2022, 2024 and 2025, the Germans arrive in Zawiercie determined to finally climb to the top of the podium.

Ukraine, silver medallists in 2023, have already shown they can compete with Europe’s elite, while Croatia continue to establish themselves as one of the continent’s most consistent teams. The Croatians claimed bronze in each of the last three editions and will now look to make the next step toward the final.

Hosts Poland will have the added motivation of competing in front of home fans as they chase their first-ever Golden Nations League medal. Hungary, meanwhile, will also be aiming for a historic breakthrough and their first place on the podium.

With no knockout stage and every team facing each other, consistency will be crucial from the opening day to the final whistle. One thing is certain - Zawiercie is ready for a spectacular weekend of European sitting volleyball.
