The European women`s national volleyball teams are currently in the decisive final stages of their qualification journey for the EuroVolley 2026 finals. With only two matchdays remaining, the competition is incredibly intense across all groups. A direct spot is guaranteed for each pool winner, while only the top five teams out of seven that finish in second place will also advance, making every match crucial.
As the penultimate round of qualifiers begins, four teams have maintained an impressive undefeated record, placing them in a strong position for direct qualification or an excellent chance at one of the coveted runner-up spots. These teams include Slovenia (Pool C), Spain (Pool E), Greece (Pool F), and Croatia (Pool G). It is worth noting that Croatia has played one less game than the others.
Although currently leading their respective pools, Germany (Pool A), Belgium (Pool B), and Latvia (Pool D) have each experienced one loss, demonstrating a degree of vulnerability. This makes their upcoming two matchdays even more captivating, as they must perform flawlessly to secure their top positions.
The complete list of the 24 teams that will participate in next year`s EuroVolley Women will be confirmed after all the final qualification matches are played this Sunday, August 10th.
