The National Team of Cyprus faces the Norwegian National Team in the city of Volda in the penultimate matchday of the 5th Qualifying Group of Men's EuroVolley.

With a lot of problems due to covid, the Men's National Team has been in the city of Volda, Norway since the dawn of Tuesday where on Wednesday at 19:00 (18:00 local time) they will face the Norwegian National Team.

Assistant coach Stelios Masias will be in charge of the team since coach Nikos Zalmas is still ill. The big loss from the mission to Norway is Sotiris Siapanis who due to illness did not travel to the Scandinavian country. Leader Angelos Alexiou and Odysseas Savvidis stayed in Cyprus for the same reason. At the same time, Antonis Antoniou did not travel to Norway either.

There are 11 players in the team: Antonis Mavrommatis, Kanaris Papas (Omonoia), Marios Nikolaou, Georgios Chrysostomou, Lefteris Ioannou (Nea Salamina), Konstantinos Skordis, Marios Strugarevics (APOEL), Dimitris Karkidis, Kanaris Michael (Phoinikas Pylas) , Stefanos Charidimou (Ethnikos Latsia), Andreas Christoforou (Anorthosis).

Despite the absences, those invited to play will try for a positive result since the match is a motivation for winning 3rd place after their victory over Norway on Saturday (6th of August) with 3-0.
