Overview
The very last matchup of Pool C will decide the fate of not only its participants, but also other teams in the pool, especially North Macedonia, who still have a chance to qualify for the 1/8 finals. Finland has more at stake in the match, as any loss will leave them outside of the best four of the pool.
Finland finished just off the podium at the 2007 CEV European Championship. Turkey have not been that successful at the continent's showpiece event. Their best achievement at the European Championships is 11th place, in 1963, 2011, and in the last CEV Euro Volley in Poland in 2017.
Scenarios:
• A win for Turkey (by any score) will see them qualify with North Macedonia.
• A win by Finland (by any score) would move them up to 3rd and push North Macedonia out of the top four.
• A heavy defeat for Slovenia against Russia could even open the door for Turkey to finish 2nd.

Joel Banks"We've had so much turbulence this summer, so many challenges and now what we got is some ups. This team showed an amazing character, we knew what this match brings – win or go home. We stepped into the game with that preassure so we played as hard as we could. There is no quick solution, no magic formula. During the summer we've got a lot of criticism, a lot of negative comments from the press, but we've kept ourselves with our focus in working hard and trying to improve our game. "
head coach (FIN)

Joel Banks instructing his players
Urpo Sivila"We were in deep waters in the 2nd and the 3rd set, the Turkey's defence was killing us. All that we were thinking was that we cannot give up, play until the end and this was the result. Our goal was to go throuht the round. We've had a difficult summer so this is a big prize for us! "
opposite (FIN)

Urpo Sivula celebrating
Gungor Baturalp"Finish team played really good, they played like a home team because of all the fans in the hall. We made too many mistakes. We were really close in score the whole game actually, but we just couldn't win the set. We are sad because of this match but we are in 1/8 finals and we have at least one more match and we will do our best."
