The CEV recognized the regulation. “Team Great Britain” brings together players from England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales . This project is part of a series of initiatives that the British referred to in the 2012 Olympic Games in London to prepare.
In the Europa League 2008, the British were eliminated after the preliminary rounds against Greece , the Netherlands , Portugal and Slovakia and finished last.
