Overview
In the second match of Day 3 in Pool C, the Netherlands will play against North Macedonia. The Netherlands, a EuroVolley veteran with 27 tournaments in the books and a gold medal to their name from the 1997 edition, are the favourites of this fixture, at least on paper. Fun fact: Dutch star opposite Nimir Abdel-Aziz started his career as a setter, and switched position to attacker only a few years ago.

Wouter ter Maat“Two 3-0 wins is definitely a great start for us in this tournament, especially since you can regard both Spain and North Macedonia as very dangerous opponents. I think that compared to other teams, the level of the players of our team is even, so it does not make too much of a difference who plays and who does not – we are a good team anyway. It is difficult to say how far we can get in this tournament – we have to get out of the pool and see who we would play in the next round.”
