Just over an hour to prepare for the three days that matter

Observador10 September 2026 at 15:20

Portugal had just over an hour to prepare for the three days of competition at the European Volleyball Championship in Sofia. The Portuguese team made their tournament debut facing Poland, the reigning competition champions and vice Olympic champions.

The Portuguese were unable to execute any strategy that would neutralize the power of the Polish team, resulting in a 3-0 defeat in the opening match.

Poland, the current European champions and vice Olympic champions, demonstrated their usual strength on court, confirming the favoritism they held for this encounter.

Following this defeat, Portugal now faces Bulgaria, the vice world champions, in the next stage of the tournament.
