Volleyball Players in the World – Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world. It has been notorious for a long time for causing harmful injuries to its players. This article will give a list of the top 10 volleyball players that have sustained a lot of injuries throughout their careers and have emerged stronger than ever.
Nevertheless, volleyball is an extremely fun sport, and it is frequently played on beach holidays and parties. The players on this list are international volleyball champions.
Here are the lists of the top 10 volleyball players in the world today:
1. Ricardo Lucarelli
The 26-year-old is presently Brazil’s best outside hitter since the last Olympic cycle (2013-2016) had started. He has already 2 World League silver medals under his belt, also a silver medal from the 2014 World Championship, and a gold medal from the 2013 Grand Champions Cup.
No matter the age, his role remains the same but with more hopes from Brazilian fans as he continues to improve his game.
2. Gavin Schmitt
Canada’s scoring machine had a stunning club season in Turkey, he led his team Arkas to win the Turkish League. Gavin was named as the MVP, Best Spiker, Best Scorer, and Best Server. Canada’s odds of qualifying for the 2015 World Cup depended strongly on Gavin.
3. Earvin N’Gapeth
France’s best player at the 2014 World Championship is definitely the point of conversation of the town with several videos of him amiably entertaining fans with some out-of-this-world volleyball moves.
There can be no doubt whatsoever that N’Gapeth has matured as a player with his bad-boy days well behind him. Will he continue to excel? We can only hope so.
4. Saeid Marouf
The 2014 ‘My Volleywood Idol’ made righteous headlines this season when he had played in the Italian League with Emma Villas Siena.
Besides, Marouf is the first Iranian player to have ever won the Russian League, Russian Cup, and also the prestigious CEV Champions League. As for the upcoming season, Iran will heavily depend on his experience and the setting skills he is known for.
5. Facundo Conte
With Coach Velasco reportedly swapping Conte from an outside hitter to being an opposite hitter is the actual reason why Conte is on the list. We wonder how he’d perform as a right-side attacker & how Coach Velasco will integrate Conte’s all-around talent in his system for offense and defense.
6. Max Holt
Holt aka Thunder Holt in Volleywood is undoubtedly one of the best middle blockers in the world right now. His pairing up together with the 2008 Olympic Champion David Lee gives Team USA the opportunity to be among the top favorites to have won the World League & World Cup.
In case you didn’t know, Max had also won the CEV Cup with Zaytsev and Dinamo Moscow one season.
7. Ivan Zaytsev
Italy’s best volleyball player and best scorer suffered an unfortunate injury during the World Championship. And, that was one of the factors why Italy had notably failed to finish in the Top 4. The result was really disappointing and it prompted Italian volleyball fans to call for a change.
Fast forward to 2022, Ivan has now recovered but we have enough reasons to wait and see if he still has the same explosive touch he is popular for.
Maybe a new hairstyle is the other thing Ivan will be capable of surprising us with. This one right here is one of the top Volleyball Players 2022.
8. Mateusz Mika
Mika had indeed played a very important role last year at the 2014 World Championship. There, with his formidable skills, he had helped Poland to win the World Championship crown in front of the home crowd.
With Winiarski’s retirement and Kurek’s return, Coach Antiga had heavily relied on Mika’s consistent volleyball skills and he never faltered to deliver. Undoubtedly, he is one of the most talented Volleyball Players in 2022.
9. Yumilka Ruiz
Yumilka Ruiz is one of the most impressive figures on the volleyball courts. If anybody ever has any doubts about women’s jumping ability, they should see this woman play. For sure she jumps much more than most men; Ruiz can fly. Captain of the Cuban women’s volleyball team, Yumilka Ruiz has been a long-time favorite player.
10. Pavel Krugov
The MVP of the CEV Cup is on his way to becoming the newest scoring machine for Russia. Kruglov is known to compete for the starting position against Pavlov and Mikhaylov.
The 33-year-old is in great shape and had an absolutely fabulous season in the Russian League with club team Dynamo Moscow. He is definitely one of the most skillful Volleyball Players in 2020.
