Düsseldorf (Germany) – Czech volleyball players at the end of the group stage at the European Championship defeated Sweden 3-0 after sets 25-23, 25-20 and 25-22 to secure a place in the play-offs. If the home Germans do not surprise in the evening match against Turkey, Jannis Athanasopoulos's team will go to the round of 16 even from the second place in the group C table. Gabriela Orvošová was the most productive Czech player in today's match with eighteen points.

Czech volleyball players awarded the Greek coach Athanasopoulos a victory on today's birthday. They confirmed that after a terrible entry into the tournament and a defeat by Azerbaijan, they performed well. They won with excellent service and defense as well as a solid attack, even though they had to do without blocker Magdalena Jehlářová. She traveled to the United States of America due to her study obligations.

The Czech Republic collected eight points in the tangled Group C and moved into second place behind sovereign Turkey and one point ahead of Germany.
