Portugal loses again at EuroVolley

Público13 September 2026 at 16:46

Portugal suffered another defeat at EuroVolley, losing the match against Israel. This defeat leaves the national team in a very complicated situation in the competition.

With this negative result, Portugal has little chance of reaching the round of 16 of the European volleyball tournament. The Portuguese team needed victories in this phase to keep alive the aspirations of advancing to the next round.

The match against Israel represents another added difficulty for the Portuguese team, which had already lost previous matches in the competition. The situation in the group now becomes very complicated for the chances of advancement.

The national team thus faces a difficult scenario at EuroVolley, with the chances of qualifying for the round of 16 increasingly reduced after this defeat against Israel.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers interested in volleyball and the national team are directly affected by this defeat, which practically eliminates Portugal from the European competition. This result represents a setback for the national team's aspirations in the tournament.
