On top of that, the Unification of Eastern Rumelia with the Principality of Bulgaria was a historic moment for native volleyball! After a 14-year hiatus, we once again have a finalist in the Under-20 Championship.
Categorically and deservedly, the Bulgarian national team reached the battle for the title of the European Championship in Varniachka Banya, Serbia. Miroslav Zhivkov’s team won their semi-final against Ukraine with 3:0 (25:22, 25:20, 25:20), leaving no doubt as to who is the classier and better team.
In the battle for the gold, the “tricolors” will face the undefeated team of France, which in the first semi-final today also recorded a clear success over the Czech Republic – 3:0 (26:24, 25:12, 25:16). The “Roosters” have only lost one game at EuroVolley 2024 in Serbia and Greece. Bulgaria has eight wins and only one defeat (from Italy).
The final is on Saturday, September 7, at 19:00 and will be broadcast live on Max Sport 2.
With wonderful support from the stands in the hall in Varniachka Banya, many cheerleaders and chants of “Bulgarians, heroes”, the semi-final clash took place today.
Bulgaria finished the match with 28 errors (20 on serve), 8 blocks and 3 aces. Kristijan Titriyski was the top scorer with 15 points, and Alexander Kandev added 9.
