Team History

The Scottish Volleyball Association [5] was founded in 1968 by the withdrawal of Scottish volleyball organizations from the jurisdiction of English Volleyball Association and joined the FIVB two years later. The Scottish women's volleyball team did not enter the official international competitions until 2004, when the team took part in the European Small Nations Championships for the first time. After confidently passing the qualifications, the Scottish won only one match out of four and took the final 4th place. Afterwards, the Scottish national team regularly participated in such competitions, but only in 2013 they manage to be among the medalists for the first time, winning the bronze medal. Two years later, they again won a medal in this competition but this time it was silver, losing only to the national team of Cyprus. In 2022, the Scottish team won the Small Nations Championship for the first time. Apart from the European Small Nations Championships, the Scottish team took part in the qualifiers for the FIVB World Championships three times, but each time they were eliminated from the competition at the first group stage.
