The first day of the 2024 Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) women\'s tryout at Dubai\'s Holiday Inn and Sweet Dubai Science Park and NAS Sports Complex in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ended on the 7th (Korea Standard Time).

Of the 40 players who underwent preliminary evaluation, three announced their intention not to participate, and a total of 37 players from 15 countries participated in the try-out. In addition, four of the existing foreign players (Hyundai E&C Moma, Heungkuk Life Willow, GS Caltex Silva, and Korea Expressway Corporation Bukirich) have re-applied and are waiting for the team\'s choice. Along with Pepper Savings Bank\'s Yasmin and Jia Jia, the president of the association, IBK Industrial Bank Abercrombie, which had been expected to re-apply, did not re-apply at the end.

Earlier in the day, players took medical checkups along with local doctors at the players\' accommodation. In the afternoon, the team moved to the NAS Sports Complex and conducted some physical examinations. On the day, weight, running jump, and standing reach were measured, and standing jump and height were measured on the 8th.

Players who warmed up through stretching conducted a six-to-six warm-up match without Libero.

However, as it is the first day, the players are not 100 percent in general condition. Most of the respondents said that the players did not seem to be better than last year. "As it is only the first day, we will have to wait and see until tomorrow," said Jang So-yeon, manager of Pepper Savings Bank.

In addition, Industrial Bank manager Kim Ho-chul and Heungkuk Life Insurance manager Avon Dan-ja also expressed opinions that "overall, I don\'t see good players compared to last season," and Korea Expressway Corporation manager Kim Jong-min also said, "If the players are in the same condition today, I think we should think about renewing the contract with Bukirich."

However, Marta Matteiko (Poland) and Barbara Zavic (Croatia, 194cm), the tallest players (198cm), received good scores in height.

"Blocking is my strength, and I\'ve experienced a lot of attacking fast balls at potential, and I\'m in great shape," Matteiko said.

In addition, Merelin Nicolova (Bulgaria, 188cm), who was selected as the first choice by two clubs, was well received for her fast swing and strong serve.

The team will hold its second exhibition game on the morning of June 8 and after a meeting with coaches. In the process, players who will renew the contract will be decided by 11 p.m. on June 8. MOMA of Hyundai E&C and Silva of GS Caltex are highly likely to renew their contracts.

After the final exhibition game on Tuesday, the final player to make his debut in Korea will be decided through the draft. The draft will take place at 3 p.m. local time (8 p.m. Korean time).
