Featured Players

The host Estonia, will try to improve 11th place, the best in their history in the European Championship. Although achieving 24th place out of 24 teams by losing all five games played at EuroVolley 2019, Estonia proved that this year will be better.

In the 2021 CEV European Golden League, the team reached the Final Four by defeating Latvia in the group stage and also won the bronze medal. The outside hitter Robert Taht, who was named Estonian Volleyball Player of the Year between 2016-2019, and others in the team will make a significant effort to qualify from the group in front of their fans.

Latvia are the team with the least EuroVolley experience in the pool. They will participate in this tournament for the second time in their history after 1995. Their job seems a little more difficult, but the opposite Hermans Egleskalns, who won the championship with Olympiacos in Greece, will continue to score for the team and try to push the limits.

Match Report

Latvia win their first match ever at the European Championship

Article 1 September 2021

On the opening day of EuroVolley 2021 Men, pool D was kicked off with a fierce battle between hosting Estonia and Latvia. Lead by former head coach of Estonian men’s team Avo Keel, Latvia managed to start off with surprising confidence, taking a 2-0 lead. Supported by the amazing atmosphere of the home crowd in Saku Suurhall, Estonia managed to bounce back from the rocky start to take the third set. However, Latvia continued strong in the fourth set, taking 3-1 win and leaving the home team extremely disappointed. Opposites Oliver Venno and Hermas Egleskalns top-scored for their teams, with both gaining 21 points.

Aleksandar Boričić

"We have this kind of tournament here for the first time! In these days – when you have a cold, watch the matches on tv, but when healthy – be in the hall! Because this is our city, these are our boys and now it's your time!“

Kersti Kaljulaid
President of the Republic of Estonia

“Today we were bad at every element. It is hard to move on from here, but we really need a win against Slovakia. We are playing at European Championships and we need to show a lot of character moving forward”

Robert Täht
Estonia spiker

“It was a tough game, we didn’t know what to expect from the Estonian team. Our goal was to keep the serve and keep them far from the net and today it worked great. We have been waiting for this win for a long time and we finally reached it. It is always a pleasure to play in front of Estonian fans, and today the atmosphere was again really amazing"

Deniss Petrovs
