The women's national team of Ukraine twice beat the Czech Republic and confidently made their way to the finals of the European Golden League-2023. The main trophy of the competition will be won by Ivan Petkov's team in a two-match confrontation with Swedish volleyball players.
Our future opponents beat Belgium in the semi-finals of the European League. The first meeting of these teams in Lund ended with a difficult tie-break victory for the home team. Instead, the return match in Ruselare was surprisingly easier for the Swedes, because they triumphed with a so-called "easy" score on the scoreboard.
The final matches will take place on July 6-9. Venues and starting time of the games will be announced later.
