Six teams punch ticket to Tbilisi to complete #EuroVolleyU18M Final Round line-up

Italy, Serbia, Greece, Germany and Czech Republic all secured their participation in this year’s #EuroVolleyU18M Final Round after claiming top spot in their respective second-round qualifiers contested this past weekend. France will be travelling to Tbilisi, Georgia, as well – after emerging as the best runners-up across all pools.

This was the second and last stage of the 2022 #EuroVolleyU18M qualifiers – after Poland, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Finland and Belgium had punched their respective ticket to Tbilisi through the zonal qualifiers held in late 2021 / early 2022.

Italy beat both Croatia and France in Naples to win Pool A – as Serbia claimed three wins in a row in Pool B, a feat emulated by Germany and the Czech Republic in Pool D and E, respectively. Greece were the winners of the remaining three-team pool contested in Sigulda, Latvia. As they beat Croatia 3-0 and lost to Italy at the tiebreak, France complete the line-up for the Final Round – as they are the runners-up with the best result across all pools.

Tbilisi will be hosting the Final Round in mid-July – with Italy poised to defend the title they won two years ago on home soil when Czech Republic and Poland completed the podium.
