Portugal defeated North Macedonia in the group stage of the European Volleyball Championship, securing the National Team's first victory in the tournament. This result keeps Portuguese aspirations of advancing to the quarter-finals of the competition alive.
With this victory, Portugal now depends on a specific scenario to qualify: they need North Macedonia to defeat Israel in the upcoming matches. The Portuguese team thus needs a favorable result in a match that does not directly involve Portugal.
The tournament is ongoing and Portugal managed to earn their first points in the tournament, which represents an important milestone for the national team in this edition of the European Volleyball Championship.
