CEV EuroVolley 2019 Men co-hosts Slovenia, cheered on by 10,731 passionate fans in Stozice Arena, suffered a 0-3 (21-25, 21-25, 21-25) loss against the still unbeaten defending champions of Russia in the last round of Pool play. Regardless of the result, head coach Alberto Giuliani’s squad finished second in Group C and will face Bulgaria in the eighth final in Ljubljana on Saturday.

Slovakia missed the elimination round of 16, despite a 2-3 win-loss record. On Thursday the EuroVolley 2017 silver-medallists Germany were defeated by Spain in Antwerp in four sets (22-25, 20-25, 25-18, 19-25). In consequence, the Slovakians moved down one place to fifth in Pool B.
The Austrian men’s national side didn’t manage to win a match and ended up in sixth place. This Thursday evening co-favourites Serbia cruised to a 3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-20) win over Peter Wohlfahrtstätter und his team mates. Austria made it to the final round of the European Championship for the first time through qualification after co-hosting the event in 2011 together with Czech Republic.
The Czech side secured their eighth-final spot, although they accepted a tight 2-3 (23-25, 25-14, 22-25, 25-21, 13-15) loss at the hands of Montenegro. Jan Hadrava and co. will be in action again Friday, when they play Serbia in Antwerp.
