On July 29 at 16:00 in the capital of Qatar, the semi-final match of the men's draw of the 2023 Challenger Cup will take place.

The national teams of Ukraine and Turkey will meet in it.

In yesterday's quarterfinals, Turkish volleyball players defeated the team of the Dominican Republic in four sets. And the team of Uģis Krastiņš defeated China (3:1).

We would like to remind you that it was Turkey that the Ukrainians lost to twice in the finals of the European Golden League - in 2021 (1:3) and in 2023 (2:3).

Therefore, this match will have the status of principle and will not be inferior to any final in terms of intensity.
