Overview
Slovenia’s greatest achievement is a silver medal at the 2015 CEV European Championship. In the 2018 they competed at the FIVB World Championship for the first time in history and finished 12th. Another success came this July, with the FIVB Volleyball Challenger Cup on home soil, and consequently a qualification for the FIVB Volleyball Nations League. North Macedonia play at their first ever EuroVolley. They have been in the finals of European Golden League a few times, but never finished with the top honours. In the 2015 edition they faced Slovenia, who proved to be a better team, winning 3-0.
Slovenia already qualified to 1/8 finals of EuroVolley and will now try to regain the 1st place in Pool C. Last night North Macedonia scored their first, historic #EuroVolleyM win, remaining in the race for final 16.
Ziga Stern"Even if we start with a different line-up today, we still need to get a victory to win thie first place in the pool"

Darko Angelovski"I am satisfied with the team, we played really manly. It was a hard day. Yesterday the whole team went to sleep at four or five in the morning. I have never seen stronger servers. We love our country too much, so we gave our maximum to represent it. We got new three points, which is unbelievable. We hope to advance and go to France."

Aleksandar Ljaftov"Many have written us off, that we came here accidentally as outsiders. We have proved that we are not. We opened the championship badly, but it is normal - it is our first EuroVolley and we are euphoric. We did not have enough strength, we played a bit stiff. In the match with Belarus we showed we can play against other teams here. Our team-play, which is our trademark, showed we deserve some luck and here it is. We managed to do what we wanted."

Alen Pajenk"Congratulations to North Macedonia, they fougt really well. Tomorrow is a new day and a new game for us. We have to recover and concentrate, as we are expecting even tougher match against Russia, but I hope we will avenge two losses from 2017."

Jan Kozamernik"Our heads were not in the right place today, our minds were at the game with Russia I think. We though it's going to be an easy quest against North Macedonia, but obviously that wasn't the case. You have to respect every oponnent. We knew they wouldl be motivated after yesterdays victory and that proved to be the case. Our blocking was loose, we did not push on the serve as we should and the result is here. Tomorrow we face Russia and we will have to show proper Volleyball on our side again."
