Serbia men's national volleyball team
The Serbia men's national volleyball team is the national team of Serbia.
FIVB considers Serbia the inheritor of the records of SFR Yugoslavia (1948–1991), FR Yugoslavia (1992–2002) and Serbia and Montenegro (2003–2006).
The Yugoslav Olympic Committee declared the national volleyball team to be the best male team of the year in 2000, and the Olympic Committee of Serbia did the same in 2010 and 2013.[1] In 2011 Serbia became European champion.
