Overview
Pool A finishes with another highlight in the group, between two of the best teams in Europe. This match will determine the final two positions in Pool A with the winner finishing 1st, and the loser second. The two teams last met in the 2019 Volleyball Nations League where France beat Italy 3-1. Toniutti will be playing with the French National jersey for the 300th time.
Benjamin TONIUTTI"It is a game to decide who will be top of the group, however we know that we can play Italy again in the Quarter-Final if we both make it, so it will be interesting. It is nice to play a special game like this at home, but 300 [appearances] is only a number and I am just happy to be in the French national team."
