2019 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT – MEN

Romania’s victory over Finland clinched them a spot in the 2019 CEV European Championships for the first time since 1996. The man of the match was young Adrian Aciobanitei. In a very tight encounter the 23-year-old outside hitter made the difference. He finished with a match-high 17 points on 12 kills, 2 blocks, and 3 service aces while also being Romania’s top passer in serve receive. Estonia’s win over Israel, and Greece’s victory in a tie-break over Azerbaijan secure their qualification. The qualification process will now go in hiatus until just after the new year when each team will play two more matches.

Georgios Petreas, captain of Greece:
