Overview
Both teams competed at the FIVB Volleyball Challenger Cup taking place in Ljubljana this July. In the semi-finals Slovenia edged Belarus by 3-1, although at that time the guests started the match with a setback since their best opposite Radzivon Miskevich had problems with his knee. Slovenia is the more internationally successful side, having claimed silver at the 2015 CEV European Championship. Silver medals from the 2019 European Golden League have so far been the best achievement for Belarus, as their best previous result was the 15th place at the 2013 CEV European Championship.

Alberto Giuliani"It was a good game, but difficult. The score was not close, particularly in the first set, but the first match is a difficult match, because you are nervous at the start of the tournament. The guys played very well, particularly in jump, block, serve. We have created clear situations for block, defence, counter attack. We have done a lot of work in preparation for this tournament. This is only the little first step, the first match. We wait and stay with feet on the ground. "
head coach (SLO)
Siarhei Busel"Today we didn`t play our best game, we made too many errors in reception and serves and we all played very bad. It was also difficult to play against home team and the home crowd in this arena, as we have only had one practice here. We`ve played strong against Slovenia in the VNL qualifications in July but this time we just couldn`t build our game after such bad reception throughout the whole game."

Viktar Beksha"Today I think my team was a bit nervous before the game, our reception was very bad and without reception you can`t realise any attacking balls. Slovenian team played very good in defence, they have caught our attacks and after that returned with counter-attacks. We look forward towards the next matches, as today we played a really, really bad game."
head coch (BLR)
Tine Urnaut"I think that tactically we have played really great. We were agressive from the first point, we took advantage of our great float service. We managed to make a big difference and at the end take a win. Jan Kozamernik was great at the service, we've played excellent defence. We didn't let Belarus play their game, however I think that they are a great team and they will be a big challenge for all the opponents in pool C."
