Brazil one win away from World Championship Round of 16

Brazil is on the verge of qualifying for the round of 16 in the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship after defeating Czechia in straight sets.

The world No. 3-ranked squad secured a commanding 25-11, 25-22, 25-18 victory over the Czech Republic.

Alan Souza led Brazil with 12 points, Arthur Bento chipped in 11 points, Judson Nunes added 10 points, and Ricardo Lucarelli posted nine.

Flavio Gualberto dominated at the net with five blocks and three attacks for a total of eight points.

Brazil has to wait for the result of the China-Serbia match to determine if it could advance outright or would need to beat the Serbians on Thursday to secure a playoffs seat.

A five-set match between Serbia and China, regardless of wins, will give the Brazilians an automatic passage.
