International volleyball tournament coming back to Lincoln

The United State women’s national volleyball team is once again coming to Lincoln.

Lincoln will host a four-team round-robin week of the FIVB Volleyball Nations League June 4-6.

The U.S. Women, which won the inaugural 16-team event last year and the $1 million top prize, will host No. 9 Korea on June 4, No. 13 Germany on June 5 and No. 4 Brazil on June 6. All matches will be played at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

The U.S. and Brazil have had a long-standing rivalry with tremendous respect for each other’s program over the last four decades, including facing each other in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games gold-medal match.
