Macao has hosted VNL matches more recently, with the Galaxy Arena welcoming preliminary round fixtures in 2024. Brazil emerged as the best performing team that year, winning each of its four games in Macao.
Last year’s women’s VNL Finals were held in Łódź, Poland, where Italy claimed the title with a 3-1 victory over Brazil.
As of the time of writing, tickets for the 2026 finals are not available for purchase yet.
