SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 16:01

Portugal defeated North Macedonia and achieved its first victory at the European Volleyball Championship. With this result, the National Team earned four points in the standings.

The Portuguese team moved, provisionally, to fourth place in Group B, which corresponds to the qualification position for the round of 16 of the competition.

However, Portugal's qualification for the next phase is not yet guaranteed. The team needs Israel not to win their next match, scheduled for Wednesday.

Why this matters

Portuguese volleyball fans are closely following the National Team's performance, which can secure passage to the round of 16 with this victory. The group standings depend on results from other matches, maintaining uncertainty about qualification until the end of the round.
