French volleyball team leader Earvin Ngapeth criticized the 2023 Nations League calendar, threatening to boycott the tournament.

Earvin Ngapeth, quoted by Volleyball.it
We've seen these groups. Honestly, I don't even know what to do anymore. It seems like the only thing left to do is not play in this League of Nations, because it's absurd. Most likely, we will have meetings with the players, team captains soon. It's time to make an important decision.

The 31-year-old wing spiker's negativity has to do with the fact that group stage matches of the tournament will be played in six countries. The French national team will play in Japan first, then it will play on its home court and after that it will go to the USA.

Recall, the French team is the current winner of the League of Nations. In the final of 2022, it defeated the U.S. team (3-2), and Ngapeth was recognized as the most valuable player of the tournament.
