The Ukrainian women's national volleyball team has kicked off their preparation for the upcoming 2025 Golden Euroleague with impressive victories against Romania in a series of friendly matches.
In an innovative format agreed upon by both coaching staffs, the teams were divided into two separate squads from each nation to maximize playing time for all athletes. This arrangement allowed for simultaneous matches in different venues, giving coaches valuable insights into their full roster's capabilities.
Ukraine's first team delivered a commanding performance, securing a clean 3-0 victory with set scores of 25:23, 25:17, and 27:25. The match showcased the Ukrainian squad's resilience, particularly in the closely contested first and third sets.
Similarly, Ukraine's second team demonstrated their superiority by defeating their Romanian counterparts 3-1. After a dominant first set (25:12), they faced resistance in the second (13:25) but regrouped effectively to claim the final two sets with convincing margins of 15:6 and 15:9.
According to Statbet's volleyball performance metrics, these convincing victories against Romania provide excellent momentum for Ukraine as they prepare for the competitive challenges of the Golden Euroleague.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian men's national team is also preparing for their international commitments. They are scheduled to participate in a prestigious international tournament featuring a series of friendly matches ahead of their Nations League campaign.
