The French women's volleyball team won the second victory in its history in the Nations League on Friday June 14 in Fukuoka (Japan), against a largely rejuvenated and revamped Serbia, 3 to 1 (22-25, 25-22, 25-23, 25-21).

Les Bleues, victorious over Bulgaria on May 18 (3-1) in this competition in which they are playing for the first time, came close to a second success on Thursday against South Korea (3-2).

This time they did not miss their chance against the Serbs, double reigning world champions but who came to the Japanese stage without their managers, prepared for the Games Olympic Games in Paris.

Cazaute led his own

They were able to count on the performance of their Audoise captain Héléna Cazaute (18 pts including 3 aces) and the young Iman Ndiaye (14 pts), one of the revelations of the Ligue des nations on the French side.

They will face Canada on Saturday (5 a.m. in France) to conclude the competition, before looking ahead to preparing for the Olympics, which they will also play for the first time.
