On Thursday, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) offered to give athletes from Russia and Belarus the chance to participate in competitions in Asia, including the Asian Games, which include volleyball.

In this situation, any competition interests us. There are teams in Asia that are interesting and difficult to play against. The good competitors are China, Japan and South Korea for women, Iran, Australia for men. Of course, there is someone to play with.
We have enough top volleyball players, everyone needs to train. Yes, our league is quite busy, the players are fit, but international competitions are international competitions, Yaremenko told .
