Featured Players
Ardo KREEK
Bio
Ardo Kreek was born in Tallinn and first got involved with basketball but then was lured over to volleyball. He is the current captain of team Estonia, with Kert Toobal being injured. Kreek is the only active player who has been playing in all 6 EuroVolley tournaments with Estonia. Together with team Estonia has won 2 European League trophies and also World League group 3.
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.

Deniss Petrovs“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"
